Feature #10992
closedTD-H8 Supports More Characters Than CHIRP Allows
100%
Description
Not sure whether to classify this as a feature, or a bug...
The TIDRadio TD-H8 supports upper- and lower-case letters; the CPS allows lower-case entry in the Name field. CHIRP, however, does not. The attached image was downloaded from my TD-H8 after uploading from the CPS. Notice the Names are stored as mixed-case. When I change the value in a field, a pop-up appears: "Warning, Name character [first lower-case character] not supported." If I modify the Name, all alpha characters are saved in upper-case.
Can lower-case letters be added to the allowed characters list for the TD-H8 models?

It's hard to say if it's a bug or feature...TID themselves wrote the TD-H8 driver :) However, there are a number of things wrong with it even still, so I imagine this was an oversight.
I've attached a change that just adds the lowercase characters to their existing set. Let me know if this seems to work. See LoadingTestModules for details on loading this.

Dan,
The change you added appears to work; no more errors, the Name field accepts lower-case characters. Attached are the debug log and a "test" image file.
