Description

Two issues. Second issue might be considered a feature. Did not see this on issue list, especially (2) below
(1)Cannot edit memory fields manually in developer mode in the browser; this was possible in older (2022 or older) versions of CHIRP. I discovered this problem while doing my usual workaround for the issue noted below......

(2)ICOM ID-800H: There is an "unknown0" field between "offset" and "rtone" that is actually the field for power (see the almost identical ICOM IC-208H). Is there a reason why this couldn't be "normally" editable without going into the browser?
This has been an issue for many years but the workaround was to use the browser to manually edit the "unknown0" field (0 for high power, 1 for low power, 2 for mid power).

Debug log is attached, though I'm not sure that it will be of help. I uninstalled all old versions of CHIRP and did a fresh install of the 20230905 version on this computer
IMG files for both ID800 and IC208 are attached for reference.

I'd be happy to test a revised version that corrects either or both issues.
Great to have one program that does ALL of my radios (IC-2100, IC-208H, ID-800H, UV3R, FT60)....wish it could do my IC207H.....

Thanks and 73 - Bryan Sickels, K4IOA

  • Subject changed from TWO ISSUES: Cannot edit memories manually in browser AND ICOM ID-800H lacks ability to edit power settings on memory to ICOM ID-800H lacks ability to edit power settings on memory

I'm removing the browser part of this. Not only can we not address two issues at once, the browser issue is intentional for exactly the reason of people working around things they think are good and then causing issues with their radios.

That said, if we can nail down the power bits I'll be glad to add that to the driver properly. However, there is no unknown0 in the current id880 or ic209 memory maps, and no unmapped space between rtone and offset. Can you check a current version and tell me exactly where in the current map you think the power bits are? Even better if you can attach one image for each power level, where the only change between each image is the power level (and tell me which is which). You can also do this with a single image and multiple memories if you're absolutely sure nothing else has changed between those memories other than the power bits.

See attached below. IMG files downloaded from the ID800 in which the power was set into memory 1 (via the radio) as high, low, and medium. In each case only the "unknown0" field appears to have changed.

See the screenshots of the browser (attached below) of the first memory of both the ID800H and of the IC208H. I've outlined in red the "unknown0" field in the ID800H and the "power" field in the IC208H. This is what I meant about the "unknown0" field between the "rtone" and "offset" fields IN THE BROWSER. I have no clue where in the memory mapping they actually reside. For some reason the power output defaulted to low in my earlier encounters using CHIRP to program the ID800H and it was by chance that I discovered the ability to edit in the browser in earlier CHIRP releases

To clarify, under "memory" in the browser it's memory "0" (Displayed as memory 1 on the radio) and the radio is an ID800, not an ID880.

Sorry, I was looking at the memory map for the id880. I see unknown0 in id800 of course ;)

Please try the attached module for the id800. See LoadingTestModules.

Test module worked flawlessly uploading to the radio with low, medium, and high power.

Okay great, thanks. I'll get this queued up for the next build.

THANKS! One more thing, could my emails be edited out of the last line of the original post? (now I know not to do that) Thanks again.
