[chirp_users] vx-6 name strangeness
When attempting to either change and existing memory location's name or creating a new memory location, the name field is not transfered to the radio when I upload the file to the radio.
Also, I don't see an option for banks with the VX-6.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04, with an ADMS cable.

Hi Brian,
When attempting to either change and existing memory location's name or creating a new memory location, the name field is not transfered to the radio when I upload the file to the radio.
Perhaps the name is stored, but the flag for "show the name" is not set? Could you try changing the display to "name" instead of "frequency" to see? If so, I might get you to send me a couple images so that I can find that bit and fix it. I don't actually own a VX-6, so I'd have to borrow one to find it for myself :)
Thanks!
Hi Dan,
Finally got time to test this, and yes, it was showing frequency as opposed to name. What can I do to make the images most helpful for you?

Download the radio and save the image. Then flip the name/freq setting on the radio on one channel and download/save it again. Then tell me:
1. Which image has it enabled 2. Which memory you toggled 3. What the name for that memory should be
Thanks!

Dan,
For vx3 what we did looked like this: if mem.name.strip(): _mem.name[0] |= 0x80 None of the other yaesu radios have a similar setting, but figured it might help.

Actually, I think they all do, I just don't have it mapped. I should, of course, though.
When I get his images to figure out which bit is flipping I'll mirror your VX-3 behavior there too.
Thanks!
Before and after images. I changed #89, from "SSFPD" to "PPQQ", on the radio, after downloading the after file to it, on memory 89, it shows the frequency, not the name. Oddly, when I changed it from freq to name this time, I got "sfpd" for memory 89.
Cheers,
Brian

Hmm, I'm not sure I understand the above and I don't think it's quite what I needed in order to find the bit. However, looking at the VX3 code and a couple of other images I think I've got it. Please try tomorrow's daily build and let me know.
I converted the VX6 driver to the new format as well, so be on the lookout for any other collateral damage.
Thanks!
