[chirp_users] - character no supporting in Name field anymore?
Just imported my Kenwood D72A radio to make some mods after downloading the CHIRP daily-20151225 build, chirp shows all my previously added channels with the - character in them, but if I touch any of them it coughs errors says the - is not a supported character?
Is that a change based on model? My Radio supports it and it makes the display of multiple repeater channels nice to visually separate.
W7AIA-1
W7AIA-2 (etc)

Not the version you are using now. The version you were using when it was working.

Quick question:
Is it the dash character - or longer emdash character that is autogenerated in word or excel with a double dash?

Just the single dash (minus sign) that I am typing.
It worked on the build I grabbed in September.

The driver for the D72 uses the "chirp_common.CHARSET_ALPHANUMERIC" which is:
"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890"
So it would not support the "-" character. It probably never has.

Hrmmm... It's possible I made an edit with the Kenwood program, but with more Baofengs in the house I will probably use Chirp mostly. Is that a setting per radio type? (Can I request the "-" Symbol? :-D

I would think it could be added. Open an issue. It probably wouldn't hurt to include one of your CHIRP images files that includes the "-" character.
