CHIRP

The latest UV-B6 radios with 27 menus no longer support the "service settings". The radio still dumps the full memory when CHIRP reads the radio, but once the upload gets to the point where the service setting were (they are the last thing in the image), the radio stops acknowledging the remaining blocks so CHIRP aborts with this error.

Once the upload gets to the 94% point, everything that the radio uses was uploaded successfully. The upload just doesn't end gracefully. So it is safe to just ignore the error.

I tried to fix this upload issue back when it was first discovered that these new radios with 27 menus reject the service settings part of the image. I don't have one of these radios to test. I am not going to buy one (I already have 1 to many UV-B5 radios) so I need someone with one of these radios that is willing to volunteer to do a few tests over the period of a few hours (or possibly few days).

I just got a UV-B6, downloaded from radio, copied my UV-B5 settings over, uploaded to radio, and got this 0x0f10 error.

Best times for me to volunteer are between noon-5PM & 7PM-midnight (Pacific). In exchange I could use some help with test mode power settings - it came from the factory as 255 255 255... all the way down (even the squelches, which I modified to 23 for squelch 0, ascending by 23 every step up).

Also a look at my UV-B5's factory power settings (attached) would be appreciated, as they were set vaguely parabolic, yet it seems like I can't reliably key up the highest elevation local repeaters even in the best of transmitting conditions on hi power. Maybe its transmitter is busted.

Jonathan,

You can't change the test mode settings. They were removed from the radio. That is why you see the 0x0f10 error. Once the upload gets to the part that would have been the test mode settings, the radio ignores the remainder of the upload. Everything that the radio will accept has been uploaded, the error is just an annoyance.

Jonathan and Mike (or anyone with a 27 menu UV-B5 or UV-B6 that does not support Test Mode Settings),

Try the attached file with File > Load Module (you'll need Help > Enable Developer Functions checked).

Report back the results of your test.
