Description
This issue seems to be a TYT UV-88 issue but its affecting CHIRP.
I've debugged a bit and my findings are below.
Attached is the .img file after doing a "Reset All"
The debug.log is from reading this configuration.
Thanks for supporting this radio.
1. What is the behavior you are seeing?
Settings tab is empty.
2. What is the behavior you were expecting?
Settings populated
3. Can you reproduce the problem all the time?
Yes
4. What are the steps required to reproduce the problem?
Download from radio.
View the Settings tab - It is empty.
- I'm sure it worked once before the radio was configured.
- Factory fw version was UV88_Eng_BQ1_30_20200629.hex
- All newer versions is showing this issue.
- Debug log shows an exception. Upon further investigation I found the region is 0xFF and not handled by the region enumeration.
I worked around this by
options = ['Unlocked', 'Unknown 1', 'Unknown 2', 'EU', 'US']
try:
rx = RadioSettingValueList(options, options[_settings2.region])
except Exception:LOG.debug("Region setting of %i is invalid. Assuming Unlocked" % _settings2.region)
rx = RadioSettingValueList(options, options0)*rx.set_mutable(False)

The assessment about the region code appears to be correct. The image indicates a hex FF is passed from the radio. Chirp-20201221 and Chirp-20210212 handle this differently based on region code.

Has your radio been "unlocked"?
Attach an image for testing.

Any later version than daily-20201221 is not working for me on Linux.

Yes. That's when the setting was added that radios like your broke. I plan on trying to find some time to look at it today.

I just submitted a patch for approval. You can temporarily load the attached driver module to use while waiting for the patch to be accepted (or continue to use the older daily build).
