hi,

tried, but the jetstream also jumbles up the memory order.


something i did find as the memory file its own software made was in plain text, so i was able to understand that, and duplicate bank a to bank b ok.

Hey Neil,

Try downloading using the Jetstream JT-270mh profile. That includes support for the dual-bank a/b system that the newer firmware 898 uses.

I think we need to add some extra aliases around this, because it's very non-obvious which profile you need to use. If nothing else, there are bits in the download that indicate firmware version and we could provide a check and warning message when the wrong one is used on this series of radios.

i did try that but made no diference.


i play a bit more today, now i programs 30 memorys with its own programmer, i read in chirp and memorys read randomly into random locations on each download.


i now fine i think mine is a newer varient? a 898st. not sure what the 't' gives me, but that could be a prob.


i think the radio is odd. in operation, the 199 memorys are NOT shared between a or b. each has its own set of 99.

it seels a poor radio compaired to the likes of the other cheapos as the baofengs that i have found very good like the big 3 i/k/y lot.

I don't remember what the difference is between the S and E models,
but I think it changes the way the channels are stored in the radio.
Have you tried reading the radio with the VV-898E to see if the
channels are retrieved?

Jim
