CHIRP

Hi Dan,
except that 2 times out 3 the clone process ends in "Error" i've made a video to show the name issue better than photos.
Sorry for my voice...i hope it will explain!

Hi Fabio,

Thanks for the video, I think that helped.

Can you upload an image from chirp to the radio that has the problem, then "fix" one of the memories that doesn't properly show the name, and then immediately download an image from the radio? If you send me those two images (before/after) then I can try to figure out what the problem is.

Also, which hypermemory do you have active on the radio?

Thanks!

Fabio,

Thanks for the images. It's easier for me to see what changed if you only fix one memory at a time. However, I'll take a look at them later and see what I can figure out.

Also, can you try today's daily build to see if it makes the upload process more reliable?

Thanks!

Hi Fabio,

I know you have something else very important to work on right now, so please focus on that and only read this after you're done! :)

I think the problem you are experiencing is related to the fact that you created the image with 0.1.12, which had a bug in the ft8900 driver. That bug caused the behavior you're seeing. Just opening that image with the new development version of chirp and uploading to the radio will not correct the things that the old version did incorrectly. I have tested with your images and the current version and I believe it is doing the right thing. So, if I am correct, I think we just need to fix your existing image. To do that:

1. Open your image (for example, the "before" image above)
2. Import that same image into itself (File->Import, choose the same image)
3. Make sure all the memories are selected in the import window
4. Click OK to do the import
5. Upload to the radio

Please let me know if that sets the names properly. Looking at the image, I think it should.

Thanks and good luck!

Hi Dan,
GREAT NEWS! I've installed the latest dev build (February 25th) and it uploaded the memories at FIRST ATTEMPT! And there's no problems with the names!
