Bug #8109
closedError using CHIRP with my AnyTone AT778-UV
100%
Description
Hi.
Firstly, although I've used Chirp for years, this is the first time I've needed to raise an issue with it - please be patient with me!
I fed this into the chirp_users discussion, and was advised to raise it as a bug:
"On Sun, Jul 19, 2020 at 4:40 AM Tony Moriarty
Anyway, having downloaded the latest daily build and attempted to read the radio, I'm getting an error message that includes the text :
"Radio version not in allowed list for AnyTone-778UV: 000: 49 41 54 37 37 38 55 56 IAT778UV
008: 01 56 31 30 30 00 00 06 .V100..."
Your radio is reporting "V100" and CHIRP currently expects it to be
"V200". I would submit a bug report with the same information that you
provided here so the additional version can be added to the driver for
the AT-778UV.
Jim KC9HI"
So, here are the details as I posted therein:
I was delighted to discover recently that Chirp now supports the Anytone 778-UV - I've had one for a while, and the "other" software available for it was rather limited.
Anyway, having downloaded the latest daily build and attempted to read the radio, I'm getting an error message that includes the text :
"Radio version not in allowed list for AnyTone-778UV: 000: 49 41 54 37 37 38 55 56 IAT778UV
008: 01 56 31 30 30 00 00 06 .V100..."
It appears that Chirp is correctly interacting with the radio via the relevant com port, but doesn't like what the radio tells it.
Since there doesn't seem to have been a rash of issues raised on this subject, I didn't want to raise it as a bug report till I'd made enquiries here.
My PC runs an up-to-date installation of Windows 10
The debug file includes the following (I've chopped out lines that don't seem relevant!):

Can anyone suggest a way forward, please?

Tony,
I'm not 100% sure but I think this experimental driver my get you going. Please test this experimental driver module. Here is how you utilize the test driver module.
1.0 download driver 1.1 click the link for "anytone778uv(v100).py" and wait for the next page to load 1.2 click the "download" link 1.3 save the file to a convenient location 2 load CHIRP 3 click "Help" in the menu bar 4 enable "Enable Developer Functions" 5 click "File" in the menu bar 6 click "Load Module" 7 locate and load the custom driver module saved in step 1
At this point you can try to download from your radio to see if the added version ("v100") works.
Note: This custom driver module does not permanently change your CHIRP installation. One you exit CHIRP, you must load this custom driver module module to have this additional "version" available.
Report back whether it works or not. If it does, I will contact Joe to see if he will create the patch to add the new version or if he wants me to do it.

Good morning, Jim.
Many thanks for your help - I followed the instructions you provided, and everything seems to work fine.
Chirp "read" from the radio, no problems. I saved the baseline read (just in case), made minor changes, and re-loaded to the radio - again, without problems.
In short, as far as I can tell, the problem is solved.
If you need any further checks from my end, just let me know.
Meantime, thanks again - really pleased.
Best regards,
Tony Moriarty, G4TRY

You've done exactly what I would have - I'm happy for you to create the patch if that suits you.
Cheers,
J
