Bug #1751
closedGT-3 Mark II downloading chanels problem
100%
Description
- What is the behavior you are seeing?
I plug-in the original BAOFENG cable into USB port.
Follow instructions to DOWNLOAD FROM RADIO. After CLONING process, nothing happens - What is the behavior you were expecting? I’m expecting to see the downloaded channels list.
- Can you reproduce the problem all the time? Yes, every time I repeat the procedure, nothing happens.
- What are the steps required to reproduce the problem? Just follow the instructions suggested by the program.
- Is this specific to a certain radio model (driver) or something that you can reproduce with another radio?- If I try with a BAOFENG UV-5RS (BFB297), it runs perfectly. If I try with a BAOFENG GT-3 Mark II (BFB29??), nothing happens.

Luca,
The bug appears to be in your firmware. Possibly a bad write from the factory.
From the debug.log: Unable to parse version string BFS311 BFB29Ðÿ
The "BFB29Ðÿ" should be "BFB297 ". CHIRP is choking on the non-numeric character when trying to parse the version number (which should be "297"). Tell me, what do you see on the bottom line when you power the radio on while pressing the [3] key?

Luca,
Save the attached "uv5r.py" file to the same place that you save your .img files
Launch CHIRP
Click "Help" and then enable "Enable Developer Functions"
Click "File" -> "Load Module" and then load the "uv5r.py" file
Now try to download from your GT-3 and report back the results

Jim,
thank you a lot for the quick answer.
I loaded the uv5r.py module as you suggested, and the downloading procedure run perfectly, opening the channel list as we expected.
I also tried to modify a channel and upload it back to the GT-3.
It run correctly writing my change.
I ony found an error at the end of uploading process, showed in the attached "error.jpg" file.
thx again :-)
Regards,

Luca,
Sorry, I didn't see your reply of 4 days ago.
That error message needs to be toned down. It looks like something serious has happened when it should be more of an information only message.
It is letting you know that the channels and 99.5% of the settings have been successfully transferred. Only the Power-on messages and band limits have not been uploaded. That is the way it is supposed to work when the firmware version of the radio and the firmware version of the CHIRP editor are different.
I'll have to see if I can look into this some more after work today.
