CHIRP

I mis-identified the radio in the description it is the UV-K6 from Quansheng as noted in the subject and keyword fields, sorry for any confusion.

So i if i understand correctly: the chirp driver works fine for you, but you don't like the defaults, and the GUI layout (want to have different columns).

The chirp driver defaults to what the Quansheng software sets. And this doesn't add channels to both scanlists by default.

What the GUI looks like is separate from the UV-K5 driver. It might not be the best for a particular radio, but it's supposed to present an uniform interface that looks the same for all radios and is "good enough". If you have an idea how it could be improved and still be "good enough" for all radios, please post this issue, but don't mark it as UV-K5 (or any other particular radio, since this is a change for all radios).

In your particular case:

• download the channels from repeater book
• add anything else you would like
• enable "Show Extra Fields"
• select the channels you want and bulk-set them to whatever scanlist setting you want (so it you want all in scanlists 1+2, then select all and set 1+2)

Let me know if this solves your issue.

Jacek,

I see your point, but there's an issue I think needs to be addressed - the S-LIST (per channel) setting.

I understand your desire to make the scanlist fields (S-ADD1 and S-ADD2) up to the user when programming the radio, it is not what I was thinking of, but it is reasonable.

But each channel has a field called S-LIST that is set to either "1" or "2" (setting # 31 in the radio menu), which indicates which scan list is used when a user activates the Scan function while on the current channel. I think CHIRP needs to have an "S-LIST" column added to the "show extra fields" display to allow the user to set the "S-LIST" setting in the "show extra fields" screen. Without such a column, the user is unable to make proper use of the Scan function.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks,
