Hi Jim, sounds good. These are the same radio hardware just rebranded. Both are available on Amazon. I have the Anysecu branded WP-9900. The thing I really need is to be able to transfer all my programs to this new radio without having to key in all of the channels manually. there is no import/export in the crappy software they provide. I know several other people that have these also... Let me know what I can do to help.

Here is the amazon link in case it helps...

John,

What other radios do you have that use this same driver (QYT KT8900D, KT7900D, KT8900, KT8900R, KT-8R, BTECH UV-2501, UV-2501_220, UV-5001, UV-25X2, UV-25X4, UV-50X2, etc)? I will need some testing done with them as well.

Hi Jim, I also have QYT KT-7900 radios, but the settings tab on this model does not work in Chirp and has been broken for at least one year... but I have them also available for testing if needed. If we can fix that tab as well that would be great, let me know if i should file a separate bug on it.

That's most likely because the radio has one or more settings that is/are out-of-range. The debug.log file should help to determine which settings are amiss so they can be set to a valid values.

I have this radio too, I noticed you can open the exported .dat file of channels and its in a format that could likely be decoded easily. Anyway, i bought this radio knowing it wasnt supported by chirp, so no hassle. letme know if i can help

I use this software
https://www.qytradio.com/uploadfile/downloads/WP9900_CPS_ENG_PACK.rar

here is an empty channel followed by one configured

0 0 0 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255
0 1 1 0 37 67 20 0 37 67 20 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4

oh and mine is branded as QYT KT-WP12

Hi all,

One thing that would really be useful would be to have the MCU-Version: from everyone's radio that is available for testing. The MCU-Version: can be found in the status display area at the bottom of the OEM software's main window.

List the following...
Vendor: (QYT, Anysecu, etc.)
Model: (KT-WP12, KT-9900, WP-9900, etc)
MCU-Version: (WP3094, etc)

Thanks,
Jim KC9HI

Hi Jim - you were right on, the MCU version is WP3094. Attached is the screen capture from the WP9900_VIP_CPS.exe software attached to my Anysecu WP-9900 branded radio.

Hope this helps!

Well John, I think we've waited patiently long enough. I thought there would have been some others chime in with the MCU version from their radio, but you appear to be the only one that took the time to provide it. Let's get to testing!

I am attaching an experimental driver module to this issue that should allow you to download from your WP-9900 with MCU WP3094. Once you have successfully downloaded from your radio, save the newly created tab to a CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file. Then please attach the newly saved "image" to this issue so I can use it to assist in the process of developing support for the Anysecu WP-9900.

Here are the instructions for how you use the experimental driver module.

save the test driver (WP-9900 MCU WP3094 - read test.py) to a convenient location on your computer. Note: Do not right-click the link to download. You must left-click the link and then choose the Download link near the top of the page that loads.¶

load CHIRP¶

click Help in the menu bar and then enable the Enable Developer Functions setting¶

click File in the menu bar and then select Load Module in the list that appears¶

locate and load the experimental driver module that was saved in step #1¶

At this point CHIRP should have a red background to let you know that it is running with an externally loaded driver module. Attempt to download from your radio choosing Vendor: Anysecu and Model: WP-9900. If successful, save the new tab to a CHIRP *.img file and attach it to this issue. If downloading fails, describe the error and attach a CHIRP debug.log file.

Note: Using this experimental driver module does not permanently change your CHIRP installation in any way. Once you close CHIRP and reopen it later, you will have to load the experimental driver module again before you can do any additional testing.

Jim KC9HI

Thanks Jim - but am not seeing a link to download a test.py driver... what am I missing?

This also worked great for me - I copied and pasted all the memory channels from another radio and uploaded them successfully.

The only thing I found in error was the color "indigo" was spelled "indego"

thanks so much and 73!
John K9JEB

LOL. That spelling error has been like that for something like 5 years. You are the first to notice and say something about it. I'll have to open another ticket to fix it. Thanks.

Got one of these radios (QYT KT-WP12). After fighting with original SW I found that chirp has experimental driver.
Using latest version of chirp (20220515) on Windows 10
Loaded WP-9900 MCU WP3094 - read test.py into Chirp
Downloaded image from radio

• can see channels
• NO Settings tab as with my other radios (see screenshot)

Tried to upload a change to channel:
Window pops up to ask for 'COM and VENDOR/MODEL' => click OK
Windows pops up with 'Anysecu-WP-9900 instructions' => click OK
Window pops up with 'Driver is experimental - wanna proceed' => click OK

A small windows pops up and disappears immediately. Unable what it says... thats it - nothing more

The "read_test.py" was just to test the cloning protocol and to provide me with a CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) that could be used for reverse engineering of the radios settings. There was, by design, no settings tabs or ability to upload to the radio.

So I gather that the QYT KT-WP12 has the same MCU version as the Anysecu WP9900, correct?

Jim KC9HI

correct, WP3094
Matt/K0MOS

Reading all your posts carefully I found the draft driver and the SETTINGS show up and are looking good and I can upload to the radio - Happy camper.
Thank you so much for the driver.

K0MOS/Matt

Tnx Jim, working fine here :)

Working fine here, thanks for the updated version.
Matt/K0MOS

I have a KT-WP12 - it works but there is no way to import data - the menu is missing ( newest downloaded CHIRP )

This is a closed issue. You should have opened a new one. Missing settings tabs is usually an indication that one or more of the settings are set to a value that is out-of-range. Open a new issue and attach a freshly downloaded CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file and I will take a look at it.
