Feature #10512
closedRuyage UV58Plus - Radtel Rt 980 - AM Mode Program
100%
Description
Good morning,
Using chirp for memory programming, if I enter an air band frequency in the memory, I do not have the option of selecting AM Mode. so I have to save the frequency directly from the device.

Good catch. I will try to see what I can figure out.

I think I have worked it out. Please give this test driver module a try and provide feedback. Frequencies from 108.0000-129.9975 MHz should now select AM in the radio. This link will explain how to use this test module in CHIRP-next: LoadingTestModules

Thank you for your testing Francesco. I have submitted a patch. Support will be available in the CHIRP-next build following acceptance. Until then keep using the test driver module.

Hi, I have a problem with my Radtel RT-890 radio.
I cannot set the AM modulation in the data downloaded from the radio.
I am using the latest software and features 10512 but it does nothing.
I also noticed that I'm missing one column compared to what is shown in e.g. RepeaterBook.
I've attached a screenshot showing the differences.
I am asking for suggestions and advice on what to do so that I can change the modulation to AM.

Just like the factory software, you don't set AM modulation in CHIRP. When you select a frequency in the range of 108-130 MHz, the mode displayed in the radio will automatically be AM (the Mode setting in CHIRP doesn't matter for Air Band frequencies).

I don't understand what you mean by "does nothing." You don't need to load the #10512 test module any longer. The fix is now in the latest CHIRP-next builds.
I also noticed that I'm missing one column compared to what is shown in e.g. RepeaterBook.
When you download from RepeaterBook, you get a generic CSV style tab instead of a tab that is specific for your radio. A generic CSV style tab can't be uploaded into clone mode style radios like the Ruyage UV58Plus - Radtel Rt 980. Just like the OEM software, the Tuning Step column is not available in the memory editor because it is not needed/used for programming channels. The radio only uses the STEP setting when the radio is in VFO mode.
I've attached a screenshot showing the differences.
The left part of the image is a radio specific tab and the right part of the image is a generic CSV tab.

Whenever you program a frequency within the Air Band (108-130 MHz range) and upload it to the radio, you will always see "AM" in the radio's display. In other words, you don't choose AM, now that the bug was fixed, it is automatically selected in the radio.
