Description

The Retevis RT22S is, despite it's 22-channel factory config, equipped with 32 channel memories. CHIRP is currently offering access only to the first 22 channels.
I have been able to access all 32 channels by altering the factory software's setting.ini file, and my RT22S radios are fully programmed with 32 channels using the factory software. Attempts at increasing beyond 32 channels with that software were unsuccessful, so I would assume that it is a 32 channel radio.
Thank you!

I've found that a couple of very small changes to driver radtel_t18.py do the trick:
under section beginning with ' class RT22SRadio(T18Radio): '

  1. Change ' _upper = ' from 22 to 32
  2. Change ' _frs = ' from True to False All 32 memory channels stored in my RT22S (originally programmed with factory software, 32 channels possible after minor changes to its setting.ini file) are available to edit.
