Description

In releases 20240311 to 20240317 I was able to use the UV13Pro to download from my radio, but in release 20240319 it will not download using that driver.
Also, on upload, it sometimes disables all audio.
I have attached two images from Chirp. The one with CO in the name had working audio and the other img caused the audio to not work. I have not tried to replicate it yet. It is possible that he audio issue might have come up when I updated chirp from 0311 to 0317.
I have also included a .data file for the radio that was produced by the P15UV software. This software allowed me to get the audio working again.
I would be willing to loan the radio or work with someone on it. I have programming skills, but my python is a bit weak and I would like to better understand how chirp drivers work.

The image with UV999 in the file name wont load in the released versions of Chirp. I used a custom driver, that is just a copy of the UV13Pro Driver with the new driver name like this:

@directory.register
class UV999ProMaxV2(baofeng_uv17.UV17):
    VENDOR = "Baofeng"
    MODEL = "UV-999ProMaxV2"

    _radio_memsize = 0x31fff
    BAUD_RATE = 57600

I am continuing to test things using only the released versions for now.
Other issues noted:
In release 202403011 the FM receiver is disabled and all channels have the "lock" set to true.
In release 202403017 all audio is disabled.

With further testing, it seems that there is more to it.
When I upload a specific channel set (copy/paste) from the "no-audio" file to the "yes audio" file and make no other changes, the audio quits working after uploading the formerly working file.

OK, i set up an image for my radio which does not have sound, then used the p15UV to restore the sound.
Now I have two nearly identical images. All of the channel and repeater settings are the same in both files.
All of the settings available in Chirp are the same.
The difference is that when I upload one image to the radio, there is absolutely no audio. When I upload the other, the audio is restored.
BTW i figured out that the FM Radio issue is just a checkbox in Chirp.

I have attached the two image files and a byte-wise difference file.
