The left side "box" for both of my radios only shows the "banks" options.
I have, and have used, the VX7 Commander software for years, and also
have
the Icom software for my 2 2720's, so I can do what I need for my radios. However, I'm trying to help others in our Club who do not have these
brands
and am trying to figure this all out. I recently did a presentation for
our
club on Chirp, and the rig settings question came up there. Since the
basics
are already set anyway it is not a necessity, but I was interested.
Chirp in
conjunction with Repeater Book is pretty powerful stuff and I'm enjoying playing with it.
I gather that for some newer brands the rig settings option IS available? Thanks!
The "rig settings" that are support by CHIRP varies by what setting the radio has available and by what the developer(s) for that radio decided to implement. It seems that the developer(s) for the radios you have only chose to support the most basic per-channel settings plus the bank settings.
The CHIRP repository has CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) files saved there for many of the CHIRP supported radios models. All you have to do is download a few of the many images (106) for the most popular radio models. Loading any of them into your copy of CHIRP will allow you to see the "rig settings" that are supported by each image.
Loading the image for the BTech UV-5X3 would demonstrate CHIRP's support for this radio by displaying 6 tabs of settings (nearly every feature that can be manipulated using software).
