Bug #4175
closedWouxun KG-UV8D Tx Inhibit
0%
Description
From E-mail Thread "Wouxun Tx Inhibit" http://intrepid.danplanet.com/pipermail/chirp_users/2016-October/010992.html
I'm unable to set the Wouxun KG-UV8D to Tx Inhibit. Duplex "Off" is not an option for this radio in chirp. Setting the offset to 0 or blank is "Outside the tx range" on this radio.
I've attached a Chirp Image from the radio after it was programmed with the Wouxun Software. The Wouxun software allows me to remove the tx frequency from the programming resulting in a memory channel that can not be transmitted on. In the attached file, memory locations 1 - 6 are setup from the factory software to not transmit. Memory channels 7-20 are setup as simplex channels (FRS 1 - 14)
Thank you

Phil (and anyone else with a KG-UV8D),
Test the attached driver. Here is how you do it.
1 save the "kguv8d.py" driver to where you save your CHIRP Radio Images (*.ing) files
2 load CHIRP
3 click "Help" in the menu bar
4 enable "Enable Developer Functions"
5 click "File" in the menu bar
6 click "Load Module" in the drop down menu
7 locate and load the driver saved in step 1
Now you can test the driver by programming some TX inhibited channels and/or by reading from a radio that already has some programmed.
Note: Loading this driver does not permanently change your CHIRP installation. It has to be loaded every time CHIRP is loaded.

Hi Jim,
I tried to load the file with today's daily build (20161102) and I get the following error:
Unable to load module: invalid syntax (kguv8d.py, line 1)
I've enabled "Enable Developer Functions" and the py file is located outside my "Program Files" directory.
Thanks
