[chirp_users] Looking for help testing specific radios...
Hi all,
I would like to propose the idea of a formal list of radio testers, to help ensure that future releases of CHIRP go out without significant model-specific regressions.
What I would like is one or two volunteers per radio to test beta versions in a timely manner. This would mean that when I post a beta version (or especially right before a regular release), you would test the latest with your assigned radio to make sure that it functions as expected. We could get a "tester's plan" developed with specific things to test each time to make it consistent and meaningful. I would expect a "thumbs up or down" response within, say, a week of posting a new beta version.
In return, you would have my (and others') gratitude, a mention on the website as being responsible for "QA" of your model, and hopefully a better tool in the long run as a result. I can't personally purchase and own every model that CHIRP supports. As the list grows, it becomes harder and harder to make changes without knowing if obscure models are being negatively affected.
So, any volunteers? Please reply and let me know which radio you'd be willing to help test and I'll get a list started on the website.
Thanks!
Hi Dan, I've waited so much to answer 'cause I've no time at all to make the job you need. But if you need a part-time-tester, I've an ICE2820 and an ICE92D here, at home.

Hi Leo,

That would be great, thanks! I'm rather disappointed that I've had only one other volunteer to help out... :(
Hi Dan, I am not shure, I will meet the requirements tob e a tester, but I can offer:
ID-880H, VX-3, VX8, VX8g, IC-E7, FT-897, FT-857, FT-950 and FT-1000
My english hast o be improved, but I can try... Wolf HB9TKZ

Great! We have someone for the 880 and the VX-8G, so maybe we can put you down as the VX-8R tester? That would be very helpful.
I'll start working on a document for "things to test" that will hopefully help streamline the process for all involved.
Thanks!
OK, Dan, I will try. The exact model is VX8DR. Wolf HB9TKZ
