Using Chirp 0.3.1 on Windows 7
Radio: Kenwood HT TH-D7(G)
When Tone 162.2 is selected and displayed by Chirp. Actual radio memory shows tone 167.9 in all locations where 162.2 was entered. When radio data is downloaded to Chirp, 162.2 is displayed, however radio memory is actually 167.9.
Problem is repeatable and consistant.
Chirp tone 162.2 works correctly on Boafeng UV-5R+
When radio data was downloaded by Kenwood MD7G110 software, the tone is listed as 167.9.

Excellent explanation, thanks.
I found the manual for the TH-D7 and it looks like Chirp was assuming the TH-D7 supported a much larger set of tones than it actually does. This causes some of the higher tones to be offset--explaining the behavior you see.
I have a fix prepared that uses the set of tones listed in the manual. Could you test this for me to make sure it works?
Download kenwood_live.py attached to this bug report.¶
Open Chirp¶
Click Help > Enable Developer Functions (if not already enabled)¶
Click File > Load Module¶
Choose kenwood_live.py from your downloads folder¶
Test again with your TH-D7. Please check that tones 67.0, 162.2, and 250.0 read and store to the radio correctly. Also check that Chirp reports a friendly error message if you try to choose tones 69.3 or 159.8 for your TH-D7.¶
Once you confirm this I'll submit the fix for inclusion in an upcoming daily build and the next stable release.

I think I adjusted the wrong direction in that last one (off-by-two). Try this one instead.

Chirp is unable to load either module "kenwood_live.py". It gives pop-up error "module has no attribute 'OLD_TONES'.

Sorry, you'll need to load it into a daily build, not the 0.3.1 you've been using.

This is the exact same behavior as before, right? It sounds like the kenwood_live.py module did not load. Can you try my directions again? If this doesn't work, we'll have to find a new way to test.

Good idea. I re-downloaded "fixed" file and repeated test.
Chirp Tone D7G Tone
67.0 67.0
162.2 167.9
250.3 Error: Invalid Field.
69.3 Error: Invalid value.
159.8 Error: Invalid Value
FYI: Radio memory tone of 162.2 read by Chirp as 159.8

I'm glad you are getting errors for the unsupported tones, but you should be seeing a message like "This radio does not support tone 69.3Hz". I'd like to figure out what's wrong with the error messages before submitting this.
It should be impossible to read 162.2 as 159.8. When you Load Module, it is only temporary. For my fix to take affect, you must load it every time you start Chirp. My guess is the time you got 159.8 my fix was not loaded.

I'm having troubles explaning things.
OK, just received your recent email. You're correct. Chirp was exited and re-started with re-load module. Please excuse my ignorance. I only heard of Chip 2 days ago.
Anyway, I repeated test again with more promising results.
Chip/ Radio
67.0/ 67.0
162.2/ 162.2
250.3/ 250.3
69.3/ Invalid value. Radio doesn't support tone.
159.8/ Invalid value. Radio doesn't support tone.
I think you have fixed it. Other mistakes were mine.
Sorry 'bout that.

Don't worry, testing bug fixes is the most advanced thing you can do with Chirp outside of writing code and you've been very helpful. I think we've proven that this fix is good. I'll submit it for inclusion in the next release.

Thankyou very much for your prompt responses. I didn't expect such fast turnaround. I heard about Chirp because of poor software reviews regarding Boafeng UV-5R+ which I just purchased. Chirp worked great for that model. Made me want to update memories in my old D-7G. Thankyou once again for your efforts. 73's.
