Re: [chirp_users] Clone/Live radio mode support in CHIRP

This is generated automatically as part of the build, so there's zero maintenance effort required.
If you were to generate your wiki pages programatically from a template, you could source the clone/live status the same way I do to generate this page (see code in share/make_supported.py). =======================
Tom it's obvious that you put a heckuva lot of work in putting this together, but I'm afraid there's one fly in the ointment (only one?? hi)
The MODE column says 'Yes/No'. While it might be very obvious to experienced CHIRP folks, it's nowhere near explanatory without some sort of legend. Does 'Yes' mean 'Clone' while 'No' mean 'Live'?
In fact looking at that table, there are a few columns there whose meaning is not obvious. Might I suggest a legend to describe some of these terms?

The support chart is generated directly from the code during a build. It represents exactly what each driver's code supports in terms of features.

Mouse over the column heading and it will give you a description.
However, "mode" is not what you're looking for. Tom added a new field for the clone mode, which will be in the support chart for tomorrow's daily build.
Note that the support chart is really not meant for end-users, but could definitely be used by documentation writers to ensure that what they write matches the code.

No, I only put a small amount of work into updating this to add the column you wanted. The rest of the information has been there for quite some time. This page is linked to from the home page and the download page. Note that this printout is from the latest daily build. My addition won't show up until tonight's build.

Hover over the column headings for a description.
The column I added is labeled "Type", the values will be "Clone", "Live", or "File", and it will be on the far right. Refresh the page after the daily build comes out tonight and you'll see it.
