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:
http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20121005
A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows:
Changes for Build #118 [Dan Smith dsmith@danplanet.com] [uv5r] Initial stab at support for firmware version 291
Note that at least one rebranded version of the radio has been reported not to work with this just yet. Some minimal testing has been done by someone with one of these devices and it looks like this support works without any trouble, and at least isn't harmful.
Proceed with caution and please report success or failure on bug #314: http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/314
