CHIRP

Channels from the original BTECH GMRS V1 radio can be successfully downloaded using DAILY build 20170309. So, perhaps you may simply swap in the download code from that build to solve the current bug with downloading from the original radios, of which I own two.

I have only the pre-2107 rules model. It worked fine the last time I tested it. Please include a debug.log file. It should help with diagnosis.

The "How to report issues":https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/How_to_report_issues shows how to locate your debug.log file

To create a "clean" debug.log file...

1 close CHIRP
2 open CHIRP
3 create error
4 close CHIRP

Sounds like you right-clicked the link and chose "Save link as...", which download the download page, not the driver. You must click the link, then after the next page loads, click the "download" link.

Line 45 in the temporary driver above (gmrsuv1_USG2411.py) is incorrect, "fb4 and should be "fp4". I still don't have this working, it's throwing incorrect model error.

I'm getting this for model:
000: 55 53 33 32 34 31 32 55 US32412U
008: 53 47 32 34 31 32 ff ff SG2412..

Does anyone have a log from older version?

Thanks,

Sorry Jim, I doubled on you there. Thanks for the help with this.

Are we good with this now? I'll submit a patch if we are.

CHIRP version daily-20180815 did not work for me. Uninstalled older version & installed clean daily - CHIRP did not recognize my radio as Btech GMRS-V1. Manually setting to Com 6 BTech GMRS-V1 allowed me to load an old .img into the radio, but would not download from the radio.

I loaded the:
https://chirp.danplanet.com/attachments/4367/gmrsuv1_US32412.py
module and was then able to successfully download/upload without issue. Please include this patch in the current daily.

Not sure if this has anything to do with the issue, but with the original recovery image loaded - Browser|root|firmware_msg is:
line1 US32411
line2 USG2411

Sorry, forgot to add that the patch worked on both Windows 10 and Linux (Ubuntu 18.04 using ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots).

I am unable to upload to my BTECH GMRS-V1 from my Windows 10 computer. I can load the radio content from the radio to the computer.

Attach a debug.log file and a downloaded image from the radio.
