[chirp_users] chirp 0.1.11 and Kenwood TM-V71A
Hello, nice to see support for the Kenwood TM-V71A, I downloaded 0.1.11 and tested it on a netbook running Ubuntu (10.10).
The download feature worked great, it figured out my radio type and did the right thing. I saw the note live update and save a CSV copy, edited it and when I tried to upload the CSV file to the radio, it detects my COM port just fine, senses a Kenwood radio, but defaults to 'Generic' and does not let me change it. An upload attempt fails complaining about not being able to connect to generic.
Is this know? If not I can log this an issue and can also test any updates if you need a TM-V71A tester.

I think you're the second person in a week to be confused by this, so I clearly need to change the interface just a tad. Sorry about that.
First off, you can't upload a CSV file directly to any radio. What you can do, is import a CSV file into a radio. So, in your case, after you make your edits to the CSV file, you would go back to "Download from radio", and then do "Radio->Import" and choose the CSV file. Does that make sense? The "Download" terminology may be a little confusing, given that it's a live radio and you actually want to upload to it, but I'm not sure what word would be better and still fit the clone and live radio models. I used to have two different menu items depending on what type of radio was being used, but of course, many people don't know which to use for their model :)
Note that you *can* just make the changes you want directly in the editor while in live mode and they will be sync'd to the radio in realtime.
