CHIRP

I would suggest that you attach 2 CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file downloaded from your radio. The only difference being one image has Beep enabled (using the radio's menu system) and the other image has Beep disabled (again using the radio's menu system).

Currently I've no data cable near me. I'm going to post an update, when I get hold of mine in the next couple of days

KEY: The beeper sounds when a keypad button is pressed.
KEY+SC(default setting): The beeper sounds when a keypad button is pressed, or when the receiver scanning stops.
OFF: The beeper does not sound.

It would appear to me that the list is in the wrong order.

The are listed in the driver in the following order

OFF
KEY
KEY + SC

But according to the "images" they are listed in in memory in the reverse the order

KEY + SC (0x00)
KEY      (0x01)
OFF      (0x02)

So selecting BEEP + SC in CHIRP should set BEEP to OFF in your radio. Would you confirm this?

Yes, this works. The beeper is disabled afterwards.

Bernhard, it seem that the list for BEEP setting choices are reversed in the driver from of how they are stored in the FT-65E radio. Since I don't own any of the models that the "ft4.py" driver supports, I have no way of knowing if this bug is unique to the FT-65E or if it is reversed across-the-board. Are to able to test other models?

I also notices your name in the copyright area of the driver and you have been selected(volunteered?) as the "Assignee" for this issue. Do you want to work on this?

Yes, I finished the work started by Dan Clemmensen on this driver and can test on an FT-25R.
When there's some time, I can also fix the driver (it has been a while I worked on Chirp code).
