Feature #10298
closedVX-6 driver cross mode support
0%
Description
I'm basing this off an original bug report I created here: https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/10291
Based off Dan's comment, the VX-6R driver does not currently support cross mode. I could use it if anyone wants to work on it.

If you want to try to help generate an image for this I can try to do it in the blind.
- Go to VFO mode, dial up something simple, like 146.000, turn off as many features as you can (no tone, no shift, etc)
- Store that in a memory
- Do nothing else other than set
D CODE
mode, store that in a memory - Do nothing else other than set
T DCS
mode, store that in a memory - Do nothing else other than set
D TONE
mode, store that in a memory - Do nothing else other than power the radio off
- Download the image
- Tell me that memories you used in each step 2,3,4,5 (bonus points if they're sequential, double bonus if they're 1-4)
Attach that here and I can try to have a look.

I can definitely help out with this. I should have time tomorrow to pull that image and post it here.
Thanks for the help!
It's also worth noting that I goofed the title, and it should read "VX-6R", but I think everyone knows that at this point :)

Hi Dan,
Sorry for the delay, but I finally had time to create the image you asked for.
I used 144.000 Mhz since that was the default,
1) plain frequency
2) D CODE
mode
3) T DCS
mode
4) D TONE
mode
Let me know if there's anything else I can do. Thanks!

Great, thanks, can you try this module? Enable developer functions in the help menu, then after restart, File->Load Module and choose this file.
Also, could you do another image with a channel set to 1750Hz (european standard)? I think I've identified which bit that is, but I might as well comment it in the code while I'm here if so.

1750 is described in page 32 of the manual, btw: https://www.pwcares.org/doc/VX-6R.pdf

Actually, now that I read that again, I'm not sure that's stored in the channel (it doesn't describe it that way) so nevermind I guess. There's one enumeration not covered by the three supported cross modes, and I figured maybe that was it. So yeah, just ignore.

Hi Dan,
This is looking better. It looks like Tone->DTCS, and DTCS->Tone are now valid cross modes. In my case, I need a Tone->Tone cross mode (I do have a workaround, but RX CTCSS would help cut down on random signals).
I didn't have time to upload, but can try that soon.
Thanks!
Also, let me know if you change your mind and do want a 1750Hz image.

Unfortunately the radio can't do Tone->Tone, there's no way for us to add it. It literally only has one spot for a tone value in each memory, which is why you can't select it in the radio itself, and why the manual doesn't describe that as an option.
I figured out the other index value, it's RV TN
so I'm good, but thanks. I'll get this into the main build soon.

Interesting! Thanks for the clarification, and all your work on chirp!
