[chirp_users] Comments field for BaoFeng UV-5R+
When doing a *.csv export from CHIRP, I noticed that all the fields programmed into my UV-5R+ do not appear to be exported (i.e. cross mode and power). Additionally, my Tuning Step was set to 2.5 but 5 was exported. Is this a possible bug/problem? Thanks in advance ... -- John 73's de K9RSQ
When doing a *.csv export from CHIRP, I noticed that all the fields programmed into my UV-5R+ do not appear to be exported (i.e. cross mode and power).
Neither of those are supported in the CSV driver right now. Cross mode is easy, power is not so much (since not all radios have the same set of power levels and CSV is a radio-agnostic format).
Additionally, my Tuning Step was set to 2.5 but 5 was exported.
The UV5 doesn't store the tuning step per channel, but most radios do. Since the CSV driver is modeled after the latter, it includes a column for that for each memory row, and 5.0kHz is the default.
Exporting to CSV is not just "export this radio's contents to CSV" but rather "convert this radio's contents to a generic format that can be applied to anything".
Make sense?
