CHIRP

Thanks for the debug log.

From it, it looks like 399 is not set as a split tx frequency in the radio, is this expected?

D7->PC: MR 0,399,00155130000,0,0,0,1,0,0,09,09,000,000000000,0,0

The TX frequency should be in the third-to-last spot there, but it's not.

CHIRP is sending what I expect it should based on my understanding of the format for that radio. Can you manually set one of the channels in the radio as split tx and then send me the debug log after doing so (and tell me which memory you set)?

Hi Dan
The Chirp Software does not read the split on import of radio file nor will it to allow you to
change it to split.

When you attempt a change, A window pops up stating not allowed.
however, the split amount reverts to the receive frequency then clears when you click the OK on
the popup window.

I have enclosed 4 print screens

1. Kenwood Mcp-F6/F7 memory 399 showing split for example.
2. Kenwood Mcp-F6/F7 memory 397 showing split for example.
3. Chirp with imported radio file "not showing split" as discussed.
4. chirp with attempted change.

I have also enclosed the Kenwood .fx file.
you can change the extension to a .txt file to see the structure

thanks again

i can export a csv if needed for chirp.

memory 31
log file

Hi Dan
I am resending the print screens
according to the manual, there are two ways to program odd splits on page 15.

1. change the offset amount. this is limited to 50khz steps.
2. Write a memory. tune the desired TX frequency. Then press PTT and MR to write the transmit. the display also shows a + - symbols

Hi Dan
I created a blank Kenwood file as follows:
memory 0 145.23 simplex
memory 1 145.23 minus 600 default offset
memory 2 145.23 plus 600 default offset
memory 3 145.23 +- odd split 2mhz offset

look at the txt file and the xls files
the txt file has gaps
the xls or csv file shows no gaps

hope this helps

The .fx files and the print screens don't help me. The debug.log is the only thing that shows the actual output from the radio over the serial line, which is what I need, and it doesn't seem to match what I'm asking for.

Thanks for the help, but I'll have to wait until I can get my hands on one of these locally so I can get the information I need.

maybe this can help

It doesn't directly help, but it has clues.

The TH-D7 (which I happen to have locally) behaves very similar. I just fixed support for split tx on it and speculatively for the TH-F6A. Please test tomorrow's build and report back.

Hi Dan
the New Build does recognize the split upon the import read.
It does not show the tx frequency. when you click on the split, it shows the receive freq and pops a window saying radio refused.

regards and sorry for the reply delay.
keep me posted.

Hi Dan
I'll check it when the build posts tonight.
I am working with memory 399 for example.
I did not realize it but I had lost my split prior to the import on the last log.
I am correcting the split and then reading the radio and will send a new debug log.

not there yet
set memory 399 to simplex
sent log

thanks

Hi Dan
This morning, when i read the radio on memory 399 I saw split on the read file.
I did not see the tx frequency on the program live.
I then clicked on the split column and got the radio refused popup window.
I then tried to enter the tx freq.
the end result was a simplex memory of 399.
I have corrected the file and I am going to read the radio and then shut down the program and send the debug log.
I will send a 2nd debug log after I fiddle with the split.

keep in mind, per the radio offset limits, if you try to set a offset not a multiple of 50khz it will fault or round the number
to the multiple of 50khz.

I think that's why Kenwood has an additional odd split parameter in their software to allow and set any odd frequency
within radio step limits.

Here comes the 1st debug log with strictly a read of the radio and shuting down the program.
I can send you a copy if you want if you don't have it.

2nd debug log.
399 shows split in duplex column. 0.00000 in offset column. click on offset column a the receive freq pops in the box

the same happened on memory 397 and 392.

still does not display TX freq.
except in log.
btw I don't mind helping at all. You going to Dayton this year?

Hmm, so the TX frequency has to be a 50kHz multiple even thought the RX frequency can be down to 5.0kHz? That seems strange to me.

Well, I'm not sure what else to try here, given that it seems to behave properly with my D7. I'll ping the local user that I know that has one of these and see if I can borrow it for a bit. If so, I should be able to resolve it this week. Thanks for your patience.

Yep, I'll be at Dayton :)

Thanks!

I believe this is fixed now. I'll leave this open for you to test in tomorrow's daily build.

Thanks!

Glad it's fixed, thanks for your patience. Maybe see you at Dayton?
