CHIRP-next model report #10747
closedYaesu_VX-170 model test
Description
Hello, I noted a few models of radios I own whose CHIRP-next testing status is "Probably works" or "Implied", but the VX-170 driver doesn't appear to have been tested at all.
I hope that this test is useful to you as the model I use with this driver is the FT-270. I was advised several years ago when I first bought this radio to use it with the VX-170 driver, and this worked perfectly for me in the legacy versions of CHIRP. (If these are functionally the same, I wonder if it would be helpful to users to have it marked with both model numbers, or appear in the list as FT-270 as well, or some other way that makes sense to you... it would save FT-270 owners from having to ask, or worse, assuming their radio is unsupported.)
Anyhow, I have performed the suggested basic tests (download an image from the radio, edit a memory, upload back to radio, check the edit took place and other memories don't appear scrambled). If there is anything else you'd like tested on an FT-270, don't hesitate to reach out. 73!
