I know you have testers for the VX8DR and the VX8G, if you could use another tester for the VX8R (Not DR or G) I would be willing to throw my hat in the ring. I am pretty good at breaking things and would enjoy the chance to help out in this wonderful hobby.

That would be great, thanks. Whenever I post a beta version, I'd appreciate an ACK/NAK on how it works for you.

Here is a set of starting points on "how to break chirp":

Do you have a test-suite, csv, or generic chirp file full of odd-stepped frequencies, alpha tags with punctuation, tones, duplex mode, etc.? This would minimize a lot of the effort required to test a radio with a new version. If nothing like this exists, I may create one the next time I am testing a radio.

No, but I have thought about it many times. I have a big CSV file which is my local fire station's frequency plan that I usually use.

However, I really like the idea of an end-all CSV file with all the possible trickery. That would help people validate that the import process ignores tricky things that the particular radio model doesn't support (like D-STAR into a Yaesu radio, VHF into a UHF-only model, etc).

Thanks for volunteering. Maybe you can post an initial version here and get some comments and suggestions from the crowd?
