[chirp_users] Chirp and IC92
Hi David
Let me thank you for all the hard work on this. I appreciated your dedication to this project.
I work for a large company in their software part of the world, and I do appreciate that software does have bugs. So, I have found a few that might have been discussed, previously, but I thought I would mention them.
I do own the following radios that I can test with:
- vx7r - vx8r - ic92 - uv5r - id-800 - ft857 - ft897
(I need to sell some radios :) )
I was playing with the ic92 on the daily build from 2 days ago (04162012).
I am using a non-chinese usb/rs232 adapter on my RS92 connected to the IC92 on W7 64.
Chirp 'seem's to read all the IC92 data in live mode. What took me down this path, was that I had some repeater offsets programmed as 0.0000. When I tried to change them to 5.000, it would not take and the update was not transmitted to the radio.
Previously to this, I was cleaning out the radios memories by highlighting all the SW Broadcast and deleting them with a Shift up. I believe that completed for the most part (not all memories were deleted).
I then manually edited the offset in the radio, but it is not being read by the software (this is in band B 000).
Thoughts? Is there a log I can share with you?
Again, many thanks.

The 91/92 driver is very complicated and has a few issues. However, I've got one so I should be able to reproduce and fix whatever you find.
Thoughts? Is there a log I can share with you?
Please read this and file issues accordingly:

Thanks Dan
I will follow you link. I can appreciate how complicated the IC92 data stream is.

Hi Dave
Not much in the log.
Steps:
- Start Chirp - Connect to IC92 - Wait for the memories to sync - Go to Band B - It shows the value as 0.0000 for location 0 - (it is actually 5.0000) - Edit it the value to 5.0000 - The status message shows it change
I can recreate this every time.
Bottom end of the log:

The fix for the IC92 worked.
