Description

When programming my Retevis RT76 in Cross Mode it will not save the Polarity as RN nor NR. I have a local repeater that uses one Normal DTCS code to Receive and another R DTCS code to transmit, but your program automatically reverts the Polarity to NN upon saving the program. Upon reopening the program file that channel's polarity is NN, not the programed and saved RN. Even when I program the radio with Retevis software and then Download the program into Chirp your software recerts the polarity to NN?

This does not happen when using the Retevis Programming Software, but I prefer to use your Chirp Software for all my radios.

Thank You, Davelegs WRMW978

Hi David,

Would you attach an example CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file and mention which channel is programmed with the "split" polarity?

Thanks,

I have duplicated the issue here so I don't need an example.

Disregard the above examples. I copied the same file twice.
Channel 29 is the Split Tone that I programed the Transmit Tone to D532I and the Receive Tone to D465N, but your Retevis software changes the D532I to D532N?

This does not happen in your QYT DB25/QB25 and your Tenway UV-5R Pro software. These two programs work great.

Thanks, Again, Davelegs WRMW978

Yeah. The output of a CSV file doesn't help me. They don't support split DTCS tones. I wanted a CHIRP download from a correctly programmed radio that was then saved as a native CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file. No matter. Like I mentioned above, I was able to duplicate the issue here. So I am on it.

Please test this custom driver module to see if it works for your RT76. If you also have other Retevis models that supported by this same driver (RT21, RB17A, RT29_UHF, RT29_VHF, etc), test a few of them to make sure that their support is not broken. Then provide feedback.

Here is how you use the custom driver module.

save the custom driver module to a convenient location (DO NOT RIGHT-CLICK THE LINK. Left-click the link and then on the page that loads, left-click the download link near the top left corner.)

click Help

enable Enable Developer Functions

click File

click Load Module

locate and load custom driver module that was saved in step 1

The CHIRP background will now be red to indicate it is running with a externally loaded driver module. You can now test the custom driver module.

Note: The test driver module does not permanently change your CHIRP installation in any way. Every time you load CHIRP you must load this driver module to have access to its fixes or added features.
