Bug #1733
closedIcom IC2100H channel alphanumeric display contents do not appear after CHIRP upload to radio
100%
Description
Chirp Ver0.4.0
Symptom:
Memory channels which were blank, do not show alphanumeric contents after programming & upload to the radio from CHIRP. All memory content appears correct (frequency, offset tones etc.) but only the numeral frequency is displayed not the alphanumeric name.
How to duplicate the problem:
Upload radio memory contents to CHIRP. Manually program a blank (unused) memory. Data may also be copied from another memory entry and pasted to the new memory location. The new or copied entry appears to be complete including the correct number and type of alphanumeric characters in the ‘Name’ column. Upload the new data to the radio. The newly programmed memory channel display shows the frequency in numerals only, the alphanumeric ‘NAME’ contents are not displayed.
Work Around:
Press the [(MONI)ANM] key for two seconds to select the alphanumeric indication for this memory channel. This must be done for each channel for which there is new alphanumeric content, even if the channel entry was copied then pasted from a previous record.
Notes:
Changes to the ‘Name’ data for any channel that previously displayed alphanumeric content are handled correctly.
Probable Cause?:
It’s likely a flag that requests the alpha content be used for a memory channel is not set when alpha content appears in the chirp ‘Name’ column for the first time.
