[chirp_users] New Daily Build
Greetings,
A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location:
http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20160615
A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows:
Changes for Build #409 [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) pavelmc@gmail.com] [PATCH][Feature] Add the know clones of the btech with the new alias feature, fixes #3749
This patch explicitly adds the following Btech clones to the UI: * Jetstream JT2705M * Juentai JT-6188 Mini * Juentai JT-6188 Plus * Sainsonic GT-890
This radios do show properly now in the download/upload dialog as vendor/model, this will ease the handling of clones in the user side.
But it has a catch and the users will be notified on the chirp_user list: when you opens a saved image of a clone it will show in Chirp as the real radio, not the clone.

[Dan Smith dsmith@danplanet.com] Add radio alias support
This introduces a small class called Alias which defines the identifying attributes of a radio model. Radio inherits from that, and also has a list of ALIASES that can be zero or more of those classes. When we construct the clone box where a user chooses a model, show them all the models, including aliases.

[Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) pavelmc@gmail.com] [PATCH][KT-8900R] Fix the second ID to cope with a new variant, fixes #3547
The latest added variant has the second ID without the leading spaces, instead it's filled with '123456'
We removed the leading spaces as the ID is the same of the others but they changed the leding spaces.
[Nathan Crapo nathan@n4nc3o.com] Make radio model identification for TH-7800 and TH-9800 more specific so they don't interfere with each other, or completely different radios. The TH-7800 was ahead of the TH-9800 in the list of Radios to identify against, so Chirp would use it for TH-7800 _and_ TH-9800 radios. This patch makes both TH-7800 and TH-9800 drivers check their model more carefully so order of Radios Classes doesn't matter. It's more robust that way.
TH-7800 seems to use "TH9800" for a model string too. Check for a "TH9800" _or_ "TH7800" string in the th7800.py driver in case TYT doesn't consistently set the model or in case owners change their model name.
Fixes #3737.
Hi to all the Chirp's users out there.
Since last night daily (20160616) Chirp support an Alias feature that make radio clones to be showed in the user interface (UI) as it's own vendor/model.
This will ease the use of the software and avoid some head aches for new comers, as you don't need to know before hand that for your "FooBar 3000" radio you must select the "ChinaRadio 2345" as vendor/model in the UI at clone time.
So far just the below mentioned radios support this feature,*but there it has a catch all you need to know:*
As the radios are clones, this alias feature mask the vendor/model in the download/upload UI procedure for convenience, but once you save an image for that radio it's all about the real radio. The implications are this: if you save an image of a clone, when you open it in Chirp _it will show itself as the real radio, not the clon__e_.
So my recommendation is that you NAME the image file like your radio vendor/model; this way you will get get a "tip from the past" when months in the future you hit with this odd behavior.

PS: I will update the supported radio page of the wiki later to show this.

The TYT TH-UV9F isn't on the list of chirp supported radios. Does anyone know if this is a clone of something else?
Thanks, Joe. AB3PZ
Love Chirp! Thanks for all you do. One question please? In my Baofung UV-5R+ if I open menu to look at settings go tell a freind what PL tone a repeater had on a stored frequency, or to to program another radio in the field, it shows blank.....? Can this be edited to show each repeaters PL? On Jun 15, 2016 9:37 AM, "Pavel Milanes (CO7WT)" pavelmc@gmail.com wrote:
