Greetings,
A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location:

A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows:
Changes for Build #603 [Dan Smith dsmith@danplanet.com] [ftm350] Fix trailing whitespace style issue
Fallout from #6639
[Dan Smith dsmith@danplanet.com] [ts590] De-register the TS590 clone mode driver
...which seems to be breaking File->New. This is a band-aid until that can be investigated and resolved.
#7409
[Andrew Jorgensen andrew@jorgensenfamily.us] [frs/gmrs] 2017 rule changes Fixes #5753
This adds the additional FRS channels (15-22) and expands GMRS channels include all frequencies add in the 2017 rule changes.
It also adds the GMRS repeater channels with the prescribed +5.0MHz offset (though you'll have to find the correct tones for your local GMRS repeaters).
After some feedback on the mailing list, I've chosen to number the channels according to the FRS numbering, rather than try to preserve the obsolete numbering, and I've chosen to name the GMRS repeater channels with both the "550" style numbering that's common in repeater naming and the "15R" name that makes it clear that it's receiving on channel 15.

[Dan Smith dsmith@danplanet.com] [d700] Fix valid_tuning_steps on D700, D7x
Fixes #7053
[Dan Smith dsmith@danplanet.com] [d700] Add support for AM channels
Fixes #5689
[Dan Smith dsmith@danplanet.com] [d700] Add settings parity with TH-D7
This refactors the driver code to allow the D700 radio driver to leverage the settings support that is in the D7 driver. Only a few setting support differences between the two radios were handled. Also setting the packet path and callsign seems to be only partially working, or the radio has some very old and outdated restrictions on what can be set.
Closes #7407
[Dan Smith dsmith@danplanet.com] Fix up the kenwood detection logic after recent driver changes
While working on #7407 it became clear that the recent HF rig support almost entirely broke talking to the D700 (and probably others). This makes some changes to the ID routines:
- Prioritizes the baud scan for the regular delimiter ahead of the HF one, since the vast majority of users will be using the former. The delimiter change substantially increased the ID time for regular radios set to a high baud rate. - Prioritizes fast baud rates over the slow ones in the scan. - Adds a quick recovery to the case where the radio responds at the desired baud rate with "?" meaning "what is all this junk you have been sending me", which fixes the case where the ID fails on the first attempt and succeeds on the second.
