Bug #6805
closedCorrupted files

Description
I have tried to upload previously saved files to my UV-82 and UV-5. Prior to updating CHIRP the files where fine. I have also tried to download the radio and it appears the file is corrupted. Channels with no offset and no tones and shown with both. I also cannot seem to change the view to show unused memory slots.

I've just downloaded the 20190524 daily and still have these issues. I've also notice through use of the radio that any channels programmed with DTCS tones don't hold. They can be programmed in but then don't hold when the radio is downloaded and used. I still cannot view unused channels while programming the radio.
I've attached a screenshot if it helps anyone give me an idea of what the world I need to do to fix this issue. It's killing my commo.

Hi Reid,
You mention a UV-82 and a UV-5 (something... please don't abbreviate models because there are many that are similar but the radios themselves are not) but the screenshot is for a BF-F8HP.
It would help if you would downloaded a fresh image from each radio model and attach them to this issue.

So here is the screen shots of the UV-5RV2+ and the BF-F9V2+. I dont have full physical control over the UV-82 though the download from it looks and behaves the same as the others. I know the BF-F9V2+ isn't listed under the radios supported but from what I see on CHIRPs and Baofengs support pages they can be programmed under the BF-F8HP which I have successfully done in the past.
I was able to program the radios with the factory software.

I just got home from my trip and tried to use my desktop running 20190424 and had no issues with all the memories changing when I downloaded the radio. I just checked and any changes made and then uploaded work fine. So my thinking is that something changed in one of the updates since 20190424. I just uninstalled the 20190525 (newest) version and reinstalled 20180623 on my laptop and had no issues. See screen shots. Since I primarily use my radios for emcomm(ARES) and crewing for hot air balloons I'll not be updating from these working versions to the newest versions until I hear the issue is resolved.

Hi Reid,
The BF-F9V2+ is supported. The following is from the Supported Radio Models list on the "CHIRP home/wiki":https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home page.
- BF-F8HP (3 power levels) Also includes the BF-F9V2+
It would not be practical for CHIRP to list all Baofeng radio models the UI. There would be over 40 radio models listed for "UV-5R variants":http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Baofeng_UV5R_Variants alone. This would make it difficult to find and choose the models that must be listed separately.
It seems that your laptop has the "Hide Unused Fields" setting enabled (the default for new CHIRP installations and what is recommended for users that don't understand how CHIRP uses the columns related to selective squelch). That way the row fields that are being ignored/unused by CHIRP based on the Tone Mode selection would be blank.
Apparently the "Hide Unused Fields" setting has been disabled on the computer that you took the initial CHIRP screen captures from. When this setting is disabled, CHIRP shows values in all the row fields whether they are being used by CHIRP or not (giving you the impression that the settings are "scrambled" in some way).
I believe your issue would be solved if you would click "View" in the menu bar and set "Hide Unused Fields" back to enabled. That way the unused row fields would once again be "hidden" from view and display as blank fields.
For example...
- with Tone Mode of channel 0 set to "(None)", none of the values in the fields for columns "Tone" though "Cross Mode" are used by CHIRP regardless of what values are in them.
- with Tone Mode of channel 1 set to "DTCS", only the field values in the "DTCS Code" and "DTCS Pol" columns are used by CHIRP. The field values in the other columns are ignored.
- with Tone Mode of channel 3 set to "TSQL", only the field value in the "ToneSql" column is used by CHIRP. The field values in the other columns are ignored.
- with Tone Mode of channel 7 set to "Tone", only the field value in the "Tone" column is used by CHIRP. The field values in the other columns are ignored.
By enabling "Hide Unused Fields" and switching between the various "Tone Mode" selections, you will be able to see which fields are in use for each mode and which ones aren't. The values in the unused/ignored fields do not affect the programming of the radio in any way.

This is no longer true. We have re-organized this list a bit, it now lists pretty much every radio we know about. :-)
