Description
Hello there are two bugs/questions I'd like to bring up.
1.In CHIRP the Yaesu VX-6R is listed as VX-6, it is my understanding that the VX-6 and VX-6R are both programmed the same by chirp so I suggest for clarity it would be best to display the option as VX-6(R) so that new users understand that both models work in CHIRP. (It's also somewhat confusing to new users that on the main page (http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home) the VX-6R is listed but in CHIRP the radio is listed as VX-6.
2.Disabling/preventing transmission: I have a UV-5R that I program with CHIRP and for channels that I absolutely don't want to transmit on (local sheriff and police freq) I set duplex to (off) or set the split to 0.0 or 1666. I can't seem to find a way to get this to work with the VX-6R. In CHIRP it doesn't let you set Duplex to (off) or Split to 0.0 or 1666.66. Is this due to the programming on the HT or is this just a feature CHIRP is missing for this model?
