Description

When I am reading/writing the FT-7800 under Chirp 0.2.2, it is not fulling recognizing the DPL (DTCS) field. When the image file is exported to a CSV, the DTCS flag is not going with the export. Further, when I manually add the DTCS setting to a channel (either in a CSV, or directly to the image file in CHIRP), and program the channel to the radio; I am getting the "reverse tone" setting on the radio, not DTCS as I programmed. The "reverse tone" setting comes immediately before DCS in the sql. type menu. Additionally, this has been experienced on both my FT7800 and my brothers (KC9UUL) FT7900 as well.

This is still an issue. Please see attached files.

When programmed with TEST1.img, with the following settings in Chirp,
the F7900 shows the following for these channels:

Channel Chirp Setting Radio Display Shows
41 (None) no tone indicators
42 Tone ENC
43 TSQL ENC DEC
44 DTCS DEC (blink)
45 DTCS DEC (blink)

blinking DEC means reverse tone squelch.

After manually reprogramming channel 45 to DTCS, I downloaded TEST2.img

From this diff you should be able to see the difference between the correct memory DTCS setting and what Chirp does now, programming DTCS as reverse tone squelch.

I can confirm that I have tested the img files uploaded by Ty Sarna, and the issue remains, as I had reported 17JUN2012. Please advise if there is anything I can do to help. The issue still affects my brother as well.

  • File ft7800.py ft7800.py added
  • Status changed from New to Feedback
  • Assignee changed from Dan Smith to Filippi Marco
  • Chirp Version changed from 0.2.2 to 0.4.0
  • Model affected changed from (All models) to FT-7800/7900
  • Platform changed from Linux to All

Alex and Ty, i think i have a simple patch for this, but as I do not have this model, we'll need your help in testing/confirmation that this fixes before committing this to chirp.

To help me test this, download the attached ft7800.py and launch chirp.

  1. enable developer mode: help -> check enable developer functions
  2. load this module: file -> load module, point to the ft7800.py you downloaded
  3. perform any testing

If you close chirp, you will have to repeat step 2 again to use this modified candidate.

Please let me know how it goes, and I'll submit a patch to chirp.
Please also check if there are any other tone mode supported by radio which do not show in chirp and eventually manually program some memories with them and send us a new img with them.

Thanks for working on this!

This works, but the patch isn't quite right. The setting between TSQL and DTCS is TSQL-R, not DTCS-R. I don't believe this radio supports DTCS-R.

Thank you Ty for testing.
I corrected DTCS-R to TSQL-R and submitted patch for inclusion in next daily build.
