This doesn't appear to be a recent debug.log file. It says the current CHIRP-next version is 20230411 which was over a month ago.

My fault, selected the wrong debug file. Here's the actual logfile.

I looks the identification string has changed to one that is unknown by CHIRP. Please verify that you have an RT-470 and not an RT-470L. Also, what is the range of menu selections (00-52, 00-54, 00-56, etc)?

It's a RT-470. Last menu is 51 as shown in the picture.

Thanks. I wanted to make sure there weren't any new menus that needed to be accounted for.

After lunch, I will see about adding a test driver module to this issue for you to test.

Are you able to share where you got the firmware update?

Yeah i worte Kevin from Radtel if theres a firmware update and he send me a flashing tool.
I had an issue with my TX power shown on the display and the update fixed that. So im on 1.22 now.
I dunno if im allowed to share the files that Kevin provided me.

Would it be possible for you to send Mr. Xie's email address to me? I have his WhatsApp number but I would rather email him. If that is possible, you can email it to: jru.chirp@kc9hi.net

I have attached the test driver module that should allow CHIRP to recognize your radio's identification string. Instructions for using this driver module is available here: LoadingTestModules

Once I get positive feedback from you, I will try to create and submit a patch to add this additional identification to CHIRP.

A patch has been submitted. Support will be in the next CHIRP build following acceptance.

sorry for a bit off-topic guy, but do you have a copy of firmware 1.22? because I've upgraded to 1.23 and now my radio does not receive anything unless is really near to it, so maybe downgrading to 1.22 could solve the issue?

I just updated to 1.23A which was recently added to the Radtel download page. It worked for me, receive appears to be normal and restored my "dead" VHF and 330-400 MHz bands.
