Description
I saw that wouxun 980 is supported now.
I also have a 950 and I can read and write to it too, but the texts are terrible.
The same is also with the original software from wouxun.
I'm not a software person, I can only test and make logs of it if it helps

I don't have a 950P to test/develop with... However, if you could post the Wouxun CPS codeplug from your radio with the 950P CPS and the Chirp img file when using the 980P driver, I may be able to figure some stuff out and make a test 950P driver for you to work and test with. Having both files will help me figure out the "text" decoding issue you reported.
I assume other than the text decoding issue... most of the other settings and channel memory values are correct?

No problem a can to these, but there it starts what is the wouxun cps codeplug
Channel memory are okay
i will make after work some screenshots
Updated by Mel Terechenok over 1 year ago
The Wouxun CPS codeplug is what you read from the radio with the Wouxun factory programming SW.
https://www.buytwowayradios.com/downloads/dl/file/id/66/product/2658/wouxun_kg_uv950p_software.zip
You will read from your radio with the SW, save the file and then attach it here.
Then do the same thing with Chirp and select the 980P radio, read from the radio and then save the file and attach it here.
With those 2 files, I will hopefully be able to figure out the encoding of the text and make a test driver.
It would be good if you could try and create channels that have names that show many different characters ... not just letters ( /,&,!,-,_, etc) so I can see the whole set. But I will take what you can give me.
Thanks

The two files from my 950p hope you can see where the problem is.
When i do these with the wouxun software for the 980p its the same as with chirp

Correct...you should not be using 980P CPS on the 950P radio. Each radio has specific settings decoding. Chirp and 980P CPS are doing the same decoding which is clearly not correct for the 950. Hopefully you attached a 950P CPS read and not a 980P CPS read.
Updated by Markus Scherer over 1 year ago
The codplug is from the the 950 no worry i am only played with the wouxun software long time ago
The same company does different decoding, i've been angry about that for a long time

Wouxun KG-UV950P Beta 1
The attached driver adds support for the Wouxun KG-UV950P.
It should support all functions on the radio just like the Wouxun CPS does.
However, I don't have a radio to test with.
Since the 950P appears to be a near clone of the 980P - I don't expect any major issues.
Please test all settings and report back any issues.
How to load test drivers in Chirp-Next
Select issue #10498 and select the KG-UV950P radio from Download/Upload dialog boxes.

Hello,
reading from radio works very well see scrennshot from chirp,cloning to radio works but the channel names shows wired signs on the radio.
The frequency at the channel bank is correct.
FM broadcast memory are not correct sended to the radio.
Other settings are not fully tested, the settings whe have tested are working properly.

I was not expecting any issues because the decoding was all perfect.

more test on evening
Updated by Mel Terechenok over 1 year ago
Thanks. Happy the names are working now. If you could change some names in the scan group names and send me the CPS codeplug used to program them and the read image from Chirp I can look at that. I don't expect it to be too far off with real names. Just the default ones with all 0000000 likely is off. Seen that with all the other radios...

Please use this 950 test kg file.
Use the Wouxun 950 CPS to write this file to your radio.
Then use Chirp to read from the radio.
My testing indicates the Scan Names should decode properly with the B2 driver.
If not, please attach the img file you read from the radio with the 950 driver.

Updated by Mel Terechenok over 1 year ago
Markus - I appreciate you trying to help.
In order to get this fixed, I need to get the right feedback from you.
The latest chirp img file you posted is clearly not taken after you programmed the radio with the CPS file I sent you.
It has over 200 channels programmed in it. The CPS file I sent only has 2 channels. Also the Scan Names do not match the photo you posted.
Can you please use the 950 Scan Name Test.kg file to write to your radio with the 950 CPS.
Then use Chirp to do a download from radio and then save the file and post it here.
If scan names still dont look like the test names in the CPS file, try this new test driver.
I tried my best to decode what it may be doing based on your pictures.
Thanks.

I am sorry i totally missunderstood you
I thought that the two stupid entries from the wouxun software are not relevant
Only marginally
Have you ever tried to program something other than 2m and/or 70cm on the first two channels?
A simple read and write with chrip the names are okay as you do it in the tesfile
But when i change something i got crazy
I have all done these with your new driver
Updated by Mel Terechenok over 1 year ago
Thanks. So the test driver reads the scan names correctly now. Great news. I understand that they don't show up correctly on the radio after changing them with Chirp. I need to make the same changes to the writing routine for scan names and then it will be good.
I do seem to recall other radios requiring specific freq ranges in the first 1 or 2 channel memories. I think that is a CPS/radio issue.
I will update the driver later today to encode the names correctly for a write and then it should be all good.
Thanks again for the data.

KG-UV950P Beta 3
This release should resolve both reading and writing to the scan group names.
Please try it using various different scan name characters and report back any anomalies.
Confirm the Chirp Names match the scan group names displayed on the radio and as read back the factory CPS.
There still may be cases where Chirp or CPS displays extra 'P' characters.. this is very common with Wouxun radios. As they are found, I can attempt to mask them out.

hey cool
thats funny
what do they wouxun guys
i was bevor in may car to test the 980 driver and all worked
did they build the radio new from sratch
i did not understud these
Updated by Markus Scherer over 1 year ago
could it be that the character length is the problem
chirp has 8 the cps has 6
did chrip write in an memory place and the radio don't know what to do with it
why did you say cps to the wouxun software???
Updated by Mel Terechenok over 1 year ago
Length 8 vs length 6 is not the problem. The radio seems to interpret the letters different than CPS or Chirp. Can you use all capital letters into the scan names... like ABCDEF, GHIJKL, MNOPQR, STUVWX, YZ,
then all lowercase, abcdef, ghijkl, mnopqr, stuvwx, yz for scan names with the CPS and write radio . See what the radio shows for each then read with Chirp and post the pics and image file? We are getting real close.

The first shot is write to the radio with cps, the second one is read from the radio with chirp, the third one is written with chirp and read with cps.
Look at the lenght of the letters and position!
Radio shows weird letters at the changed positions.
Updated by Mel Terechenok over 1 year ago
I don't see any issues between CHiRP and CPS in your pictures.
For me to continue, I will need the following :
Picture of the radio displayed value for a scan name that is not correct.
The img file from the radio in this state.
What the intended scan name should be.
It would ve very helpful if you could manually program the scan names on the radio and then upload the image and send it to me here.

and now the picutres from the radio
Updated by Mel Terechenok over 1 year ago
Does the radio show the strange scan names if programmed by the CPS? If yes, then something is really wrong. We're you able to manually edit the scan names directly on the radio and then read from radio with Chirp?
All your screen shots show that Chirp and CPS agree on what the scan names are. It seems the radio has a problem displaying the data. I am really interested in the data when the radio shows good names when entered directly on the radio.
Updated by Markus Scherer over 1 year ago
CPS and Chirp shows it in correct way only the radio did have troubles when it was programed with chirp
The shot shows it in order i programed the radio.
- write with CPS to the radio -> all is good -> file saved and upload
- read with Chirp from radio -> all is good - > file saved and upload
- write with Chrip TO radio -> Radio shows the strange names -> file saved and upload
- read with CPS FROM radio -> CPS shows the correct names -> screenshot -> file saved and upload
- take pictures from radio
i hope these was in a right order for you
okay i will put names direkt on the radio an then due a read out
Updated by Markus Scherer over 1 year ago
I dont know if i to stupid or the radio does not have the feature to change the names direktly.
I have read out the manual an there are no description to do so.
sorry
