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 #474 [Tom Hayward tom@tomh.us] Fix radio drivers with invalid tuning step lists. #4689
New step list sources: IC-V82/U82: manual VX-5: radio menu VX-7: manual
[Tom Hayward tom@tomh.us] [THD72] Fix PEP8 regression from #1611.
[Tom Hayward tom@tomh.us] For radios without tuning steps, test 10 KHz down from the edge. #4689
This should be compatible with virtually any radio.
[SASANO Takayoshi uaa@mx5.nisiq.net] Add IC-P7 support. This is Japanese model of IC-P7A, ticket New Model #1947. I hope IC-P7A/IC-E7 will work.
Supported features * Regular Memory (CH 0 to 999) editing - Bank settings (Bank, Bank Index, Bank Name) - DTCS settings (DTCS code, DTCS polarity) - Frequency (0.495000-999.990000MHz), Mode, Offset, Tuning step settings - Memory Name setting - CTCSS tone setting (Tone, TSQL)
Not supported features: * Train SQL setting in memory * Common radio settings (Beep, Display, Bank Link, RF power, etc...) * Scan Edge CH, Auto Write CH, TV CH, CALL CH editing
[Dale Tyler chirp16@tylerent.com] [ft857] FIx exception due to wrong data type Fixes #4239 Fixes a problem with dig_disp (Menu 036) and dig_shift (Menu 039) where the entered value would be mutiplied by 256 and thus would likely cause an exception due to a range error. For example, a value of 30 would be interpreted (incorrectly) as 768 which is out of the acceptable range -300 <= x <= 300.
[Tom Hayward tom@tomh.us] [UV-B5] Revert TX inhibit feature, because the trick only works on b-band. #837
On a-band, this TX inhibit trick casues the radio to transmit spurious emissions on multiple frequencies.
