CHIRP

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 wrote:

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.

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!):

I'm happy to provide more info if needed.

Can anyone suggest a way forward, please?

All the best,
