CHIRP

I am also experiencing this issue.
Some Details:

• If the deviation setting is cycled on any one channel or in the VFO all further channels will operate normally until the unit is power cycled.
• Any further channels manually programmed function normally despite power cycles until read or written by chirp.
• While testing the audio out from the CTCSS/DCS logic, it seems as if tone encoder is not engaged until the deviation setting is manually adjusted. (This means neither the AF exciter nor the tone encoder are operable by default until manually cycled by aforementioned methods)
• The only apparent way to make this fool-proof is by manually going through all channels, cycling deviation (Menu #33) and re-saving.
• If one does the above and clones it from radio to radio, those channels remain functional.

I have tested three different FT-2800M radios with similar result; Serial 7L7*****
If the memories are read by another commercial program and re-written all appears to function normally.

I'm having the second problem with an FT-2900: when the radio doesn't transmit correctly, I need to go to a different channel, transmit there, and go back to the channel I want to use. Then it transmits fine. I haven't investigated why that is (it wasn't annoying enough :-).

Is this bug ever going to be solved?

Chirp is a volunteer effort. Therefore we may have to wait until someone takes the task. Usually, that takes someone with access to a physical radio.
