CHIRP

Hi Doug,

Please test this custom driver module (btech_VW2112.py) to see if it works for your BTech GMRS-20V2.

Here is how you use the custom driver module.
1 save custom driver module to a convenient location (Do not right-click link. Left-click link and choose "Download" on the following page that appears. )
2 click "Help"
3 enable "Enable Developer Functions"
4 click "File"
5 click "Load Module"
6 locate and load custom driver module that was saved in step 1

The CHIRP background will now be red to indicate it is running with an externally loaded custom driver module. You can now test the custom driver module.

Note: The test driver module does not permanently change your CHIRP installation in any way. Every time you load CHIRP you must load this driver module to continue testing.

Let me know how it works for you. If successful, I can create and submit a formal patch.

Loading the module fails with "Unable to load module: invalid syntax (btech_VW2112.py, Line 1)

Sorry—my bad...

The module reads and writes the radio. In playing with it a few minutes, the only issue I found is that there is a problem with the power setting for a memory. When you click on Power, there are three options presented: High (BLANK) and Low. Regardless of what is selected, the memory channel is written set to High. (Screen Grab attached)

Doug,

This is what I have been working on. Would you mind giving it a try and give me some feedback?

Thanks,
Jim KC9HI

A patch has been submitted. Support will be in the next CHRIP daily build following acceptance.
