Bug #11396
openTidradio TD-H8 Chirp driver allows only repeaters in memory channels
0%
Description
The driver for the Tidradio TD-H8 doesn't allow any frequencies other than repeater frequencies for channels 31-54. The error message says "The frequency in channels 31-54 must be between 462.55000-462.72500 in 0.025 increments" This statement is false. The radio allows it. In the attached .img file, downloaded from my radio, you'll see channel 38 is in that range. Any editing of that line creates an error message though, as well as any attempt to add a new memory in the range given.
A second issue is that aside from the frequency, all the channels in the 31-54 range are assumed to be repeaters. In the .img file, downloaded from my radio, channels 31, 35, and 38 in my radio are all simplex channels, but Chirp shows them as repeater channels, with '+' in the Duplex column and 05.000 in the Offset column. Editing the line won't change the '+' to " " or "off", although no error message is given. The Offset can't be changed to 0.0 either.
Note: The radio that the .img was downloaded from was programmed in Odmaster and verified to be working correctly.
I didn't think of this until just now, but the website refers to it as (2nd Gen) TIDRADIO TD-H8. I don't know anything about 1st gen, but if the previously mentioned settings are valid for 1st gen, maybe 2nd gen should be considered a new radio?
