Bug #6995
closedWouxun KG-UV9D-Plus
100%
Description
On my new KG-UV9D-Plus, 'Download from Radio' shows 'Cloning from radio' and completes.
But all channel memories show as empty.
An examination of the log which show what has been read back into 'config' memory matches
the description of 'config_map' given in 'kguv9dplus.py'. That is, i can find the correct
frequencies for the first 5 channels starting at 0x0A00 and their channel names at 0X4900.
I'm wondering why the results on the screen are essentially blank.
This is running Debian Linux 'Stretch' [amd64] on a MacBook Pro.

John,
Can you perform the Download from Radio again, and save the IMG file and upload it here?
If I can reproduce what you are seeing with the IMG file I can try to debug the root cause.

Here's the results of 'Save as...', which is hopefully the .img file you are looking for.

Hi John,
The image you posted does show the same behavior you described (the "Memories" tab is blank / all zero frequencies).
I'll do some debugging of the driver code over the next few days, but nothing immediately "errors out" like I thought it would on loading the IMG file.

Hi John,
I made a small modification to the UV9D driver, I'm not sure it's technically valid as I'd like to follow up with the developers but can you confirm if you have channels 199, 200 and 800 programmed as seen in my screenshot?
After that confirmation I can email the developers channel.

That .png is correct. I added channels 199 and 800 to help diagnose this, as they duplicate
existing and could be readily identified in hex. Once I had the .img file, the command
% od -xci -Ax --endian=big KG-UV9D.img
made it much easier to see what was store there. Thanks and I'm looking forward to the 'daily'
update. -- KD6PAG

John,
I've sent the email to the chirp devs, http://intrepid.danplanet.com/pipermail/chirp_devel/2019-August/005570.html
We'll see what they say.
Tony.

Hi John,
I heard back from Jim, who authored and .aintains the driver. He is on vacation but would like to know the following (his words)
- Where and from whom did they get the radio.
- Version of the windows prog app.
He mentions that he got his radio from powerwerx and that it was a special version.

Hi John,
My proposed code change was accepted and should enable you to see the frequencies in CHIRP now but it would be immensely helpful for Jim (author of the driver) to know where the radio came from and how it was progrsmmed and the porgram version.
Thanks,
Tony
