#101: Frequency Annotations ----------------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: Robert Terzi <rct+chirp@…> | Type: Feature Status: new | Priority: Would be nice Milestone: | Component: Memory Editor Version: | Keywords: frequency annotations, frequency comments Platform: Linux | ----------------------------------------------+----------------------------- It would be nice to have a way to annotate frequencies. Other (commercial) software has a comments column. On radios with a lot of memories it can be difficult keeping track of what each one is for.
This data doesn't get downloaded to the radio at least in the VX-8 case and possibly most others. So it presents some challenges when moving between radios & files. The simple approach used it just gets saved by memory locations. One version saves it in a larger .vx8 file with room for the comments. The other software saves it in a separate .vx8dec file which is basically a csv for comments by memory location.
Ideally chirp could have a more enlightened approach, possible a separate store that can be used across multiple files that would let the frequency be identified as frequency+offset+tone rather than just by memory location.
It may be premature to put this request in a ticket, depending on your preferences for tracking wish lists.
