Bug #10682
closedVX-6R can't set DCS
0%
Description
When setting DCS as "SQL TYP" in the VX-6R through Chirp, the VX-6R incorrectly identifies the set code as "RV TN." Setting "DCS" through the VX-6R menus itself works fine.

Hi Dan,
Sorry for not including it earlier - I was under a time crunch and wanted to at least track the issue.
After some further investigation... I'm not really sure what's going on, and need to investigate further. I would recommend closing this issue for now until I can really find out what's happening, and if CHIRP was a factor at all.
DCS seems to be mapping to DCS now (I'm certain sure it was mapping to RV TN earlier, but I've been wrong before :) ). DCS also seems to have some strange behavior in the VX-6R.
In regards to DCS codes with assorted radios I have:
Yaesu <-> Yaesu works fine (VX-6R <-> FT-4XR)
Wouxun <-> Wouxun works fine
Motorola <-> Wouxun works fine
Motorola <-> Yaesu works fine
Wouxun -> Yaesu works fine
FT-4XR -> Wouxun works fine
VX-6R -> Wouxun does not work
So it looks like either the decoder on the Wouxun or the encoder on the VX-6R is problematic. I might be able to do some further investigation with an RTL-SDR, but it's out of scope for CHIRP. I was initially using a Wouxun radio to test my setup.
