CHIRP

NB: Also manufactured under ZE-889 (Zetatalk) and YI-889G Yiyan (who may actually be the original manufacturer but it's hard to tell)

As a workaround to use the OEM software in english, I've attached an image indicating the location of the language-selection menu (and the option to select)

I would also be willing to loan the equipment, however, the cost may be prohibitive (UK only)

Adding some input added by Jerome villette 12 months ago in #6391.
It adds some more helpful information.

_I just discover your software, it is fabulous
Just to mention that i succeed to use CHRIP in read/write data to my YIYAN YI-889G using Wuoxun KG-UV8D setup. My radio seems to be part of a clone family :
EasyTalk ET-889
ZASTONE ZT-889G
YIYAN YI-889G
The only issue I had was that channel names on the radio seems to be 12 characters long while the KG-UV8D setup seems to write only 8 characters.
I am using Ubuntu 16.10
Thanks again for such a good piece of software
cheers
Jérôme

Hi Callum,

It in deed seems related to the Wuoxun KG-UV8D (a new/old clone or variant?), but we need the full serial log for a read and a write to tell.

Can you upload the serial logs and a Chirp image?

Thanks, Pavel, CO7WT.

Hi Pavel,

I don´t know if you have got the files or not, but I am sending them anyway. This is from a Radtel RT-69, which is also a clone of the 889G family. As you will see in the image, besides names were cut to 8 charachters, there were also an issue with memory channels from 209 to 214. Ihave also added an image to be opened on the OEM software, for comparison if needed.

Thanks,

Paulo
