CHIRP

I don't know if this helps. I found that if I program the radio with the TYT tool I can then use CHIRP to download from the radio. Then I can manipulate some data and upload back to the radio. It will not let me ADD a memory channel in the 220 band. But what is really helpful is to be able to move channels up and down. With the TYT tool you can not change the channel order.

See my update/fix in RM2937..

So do the same for the 220MHz entry. My radio doesn't support that, so either post the snippet here that relates to it, and I'll figure out what you need to change, or make your own change based on the below:

Change the max value for the 60M band in th9800.py to 71MHz:

rf.valid_bands = [(26000000, 33000000),
(47000000, 71000000),
(108000000, 180000000),
(350000000, 399995000),
(400000000, 512000000),
(750000000, 950000000)]

Good luck :-)

Simon, this worked! Any way we can get this included in future releases?

In th9800.py modified for 220-260

rf.valid_bands = [(26000000, 33000000),
(47000000, 54000000),
(108000000, 180000000),
(350000000, 399995000),
(220000000, 260000000),
(750000000, 950000000)]

Thanks!

What is the path location of th9800.py ? I downloaded it from CHIRP's github but it doesn't load when I do File> Load Module

Nevermind, I figured it out. If anyone else is wondering: After editing in python and loading the module I clicked Download From Radio (even though there is no visual indication that loading the module worked). hanks for the info Simon!

On my Mac I just right-click on the application and select "Show Package Contents" then browse to "Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/drivers" and make the edits to the th9800.py file there. It would be nice if we could get this change committed to future releases so we don't have to edit the file every time we update the application.
