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 #516 [nicolas jon pike nicolas.jon.pike@gmail.com] New Model #5329 FT70 Driver I now have enough of the driver working to be useful. Read / write memories, a number of the settings, and import from RepeaterBook work. Saving modes dn,vw and AMS in memory channels, do not currently work. Banks have not been tested - may now work, VFO settings not implemented (etc)

I have also raised a request for C4FM to be added to CHIRP Modes.

[Mathias Weyland lt-betrieb@hb9uf.ch] [Alinco DJ-G7] Introduce empty flag, mode & frequency range checks.

At the time I was adding support for the DJ-G7 radio, I was not aware of a flag that was used to hide memory channels in the main band. The main band only supports a subset of modes and frequencies on this radio. My original code used this flag improperly, such that a channel was never hidden from the main band regardless of its settings. This does not do any harm to the radio, but such a memory channel is useless in the main band due to hardware constraints.

More importantly, the original programming software by Alinco crashes when operating on a memory map pulled from a radio programmed with chirp if the flag is not used correctly. After some discussions with and advice from Emiel, I have completed a patch that adds proper support for this flag. The patch is attached. See #5275 for a more in-depth discussion of the issue.
