Description

Download from radio successfully. Click ‘settings’ tab, error appears ‘string index out of range’.
I can’t then see or change the settings.
Additionally, all channels I add in ‘memories’ are not enabled for TX unless I connect to radio with manufacturer’s bluetooth app and set them.

I expected to view and change settings.

See log below:

Hi Dan,
Yes that allowed the Settings tab to work, thanks for that. What was the reason?
I still need to use the radio's bluetooth phone app to enable TX on any channels I add with chirp, is this normal? I can create a new issue/bug for that if required.

Your radio has something in the anicode setting that "shouldn't be there", but chirp should of course handle that and reset it to a reasonable value instead of choking, which is what I fixed.

No, you should not have to be enabling tx, that sounds like a different bug. Can you please:

Program a new channel with chirp to the radio (and confirm it is broken)
Help->Report or update a bug (create a new bug)
Close/restart chirp
Fix the TX flag with the other app, but change *nothing else *
Download from the radio with chirp, Help->Report or update a bug, and update that new bug you created in step 2
Be sure to tell me which channel you're doing this with so I know what to look at.

I'll have a look and see what I can figure out.

Otherwise, I'll push this fix for the next release, thanks!
