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 #399 [Tom Hayward tom@tomh.us] [AP510] Disable AP510 driver. In response to #3617

Only a buggy, outdated firmware version is supported by Chirp. Newer firmware revisions changed the programming protocol and are incompatible. To avoid confusion and discourage running buggy firmware, this patch disables the AP510 driver in Chirp.

The code should remain, as it is a great starting point for anyone wishing to write support for the latest AP510 firmware.

[Tom Hayward tom@tomh.us] [IC-T8A] Fix frequency encoding and decoding. Fixes #577

The IC-T8 stores frequencies in three bcd bytes. The last nibble of these three bytes would naturally be the least significant digit in KHz, but this leaves no way to encode frequencies divisible by 2.5 KHz. To account for this, the IC-T8 deviates from its standard bcd encoding for the final nibble. Instead of the nibble representing 1 KHz, it represents 500 Hz: 0x5 is 2.5 KHz, 0xA is 5 KHz, and so on. This patch implements this encoding and decoding in Chirp.
