New Model #8953
closedAnytone AT-779UV

Description
I have just purchased a new Anytone AT-779UV and I would like to program this using Chirp.
I don't have a spare to loan, but I am happy to try things where I can.
Hopefully it is close to the AT-778UV. The models seem simiar apart from the power outputs.

From what I have recently read, the Retevis RA25 is also the same radio.

I've requested an RA25 from my contact at Retevis. I'm waiting to see if she honors my request.

I have an AT-779UV on loan and am looking at the protocol.
First thing that seems different is the expected baud rate (115200) (and no echo);
the program response is different (just \x06);
it sends a four-byte read command instead of three, I'm working through this manually in Wireshark so far to get a general idea, hoping to script up some tests soon.

I am also interested in having the Anytone AT-779UV working with CHIRP. Let me know if I can provide any resources to this end. MichaelLAX at AOL dot COM

NOTE: In my experiments: code plugs from Anytone AT779UV and Radioddity DB20-G are interchangeable; but they will not load into the Retevis Ra-25 software, so there seems to be something proprietary about the Retevis software.

According to FCC info, the Radioddity DB20, Retevis RA25, all point to the Anytone 779 as the original

Can you link me to a python tutorial?
I would like to follow up on using the your files for my DB20-G as well as my AT-779 UV.
Thank you, Michael, W7 ML

Are there any update so this radio ?
message John but no reply..
seems it's a cheap radio chosen over the CRT Micron/Anytone/Retevis as a new model.
but programming is a pain to do in software,
Chirp would be so much easier..

Can I add another request for the AT-779UV. I do also have a 2nd unit which I may possibly be able to loan if someone is in the UK

I've created a driver and validated on my Retevis RA25 and Anytone AT-779UV. I would like others to test and report any issues. You can test by following the load module procedure here: https://chirpmyradio.com/projects/chirp/wiki/LoadingTestModules. If you have a Radioddity DB20G I can likely add it if you are willing to help debug. -ascendr

This seems to read the data fine on my DB20G except the radio mode. I have my radio set for 136-174/400-470 and CHIRP has it listed as 144-148/420/450. With the mismatch I was able to write back to the radio, but when I changed the Radio Mode in CHIRP to match my radio, it failed to write.
With the wrong mode, I entered the 2m calling frequency (145.62) and was able to write that back to the radio.
What information would you like to debug this?
Thanks for doing this! It looks like a great start!

Thank you for quickly testing and reporting the mode issue. I believe I've fixed it. I've uploaded a new version if you can confirm. For your DB20G are you choosing Retevis RA25 or Anytone 779UV as the driver type? Thanks again! -ascendr

For my DB20G, I selected Anytone 779UV. With the latest changes, I can read from the radio and the right mode is selected. However, writing to radio gives:
Error communicating with radio
Exception During Upload: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)

I suspect the DB20G has a different ident. I'm attaching an _debug version of the driver if you could repeat the error and then submit a bug via the Help menu in Chirp.

Thank you for the debug Scott. Attached is an updated driver that should resolve the issue.

Seems to read and write fine using Anytone 779UV! Thanks! I ran a few read/writes and added some channels with everything appearing to work.
