Description
I have a TYT UV-88 with the "old" CPU, firmware is reporting "MCU BQ1.46".
Gettings infos from the radio works and write for channels, but the Settings tab stays empty.
There is an traceback in the debug log (full file attached) regarding get_settings.
Tried with daily-20220823.
Also attached the .img if useful.

This usually happens when 1 or more settings in the radio are out-of-range. In this case the VOX Level setting is set to 0 and CHIRP only expects/supports values from 1 to 7.
This could be do to TYT updating the radios to include a 0 (or OFF) choice to the VOX Level setting. It could also be a bug in the CHIRP programming that took this long for someone to discover.
You could probably fix this yourself by changing the VOX Level setting to a different value using the radio's built-in menus. Once the VOX Level value is changed in the radio, download the change into CHIRP and see if the Settings tab will now be displayed.
Another "fix" would be to use the CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file that I have attached. It is a duplicate of the "image" that you attached with the VOX Level changed to 1. Load it into CHIRP and then change the VOX Level to whatever value you would like it to be and then upload it to your radio.

Thanks for the modified file, it worked as expected, and reading again from radio too.
I have checked a bit more about the VOX Level.
1 in the radio menu cause blank settings tab
2 too
3 is shown as 1 in chirp
4 as 2
7 as 5
looks like they might have changed something, or a bug somewhere. as long as the VOX level is >=3 reading settings is ok.

Nice detective work. Would you mind creating 7 "image" files and attaching them to this issue. One for each of the radio's VOX Level setting. I don't have a TYT TH-UV88 here, but I do have the Retevis equivalent radio that I can compare them to. That would help with figuring out if it was a change in the radio or a bug in CHIRP.
Thanks in advance,

Here are the 7 in a zip archive for less mess with the attachments.
They all corresponds to the level in the radio menu.

Please test this custom driver module to see if it works for your TYT TH-UV88. It works for my Retevis RT85.
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.

I have changed vox level to 1 and download from radio is OK.
Tried 4 or 5 times by changing from chirp or the radio and everything looks ok!
Thanks for the fix !
