[chirp_users] Issue with Umlauts

Sun Jun 28 07:35:56 PDT 2015

Dear all,

I started learning Python the past time and from my understanding the Model
send from the TH-F7E is weird, here the debug output:
(There is non-standard outout in I added to help me understand how the
parts fit together)

[2015-06-28 16:23:10,581] chirp.drivers.kenwood_live - INFO: Trying ID at
baud 9600 with delimiter "('\r', ' ')"
[2015-06-28 16:23:10,619] chirp.drivers.kenwood_live - DEBUG: PC->RADIO: ID

[2015-06-28 16:23:10,641] chirp.detect - DEBUG:   serial set to

bytesize=8, parity='N', stopbits=1, timeout=0.5, xonxoff=False,
rtscts=False, dsrdtr=False)
[2015-06-28 16:23:10,641] chirp.detect - DEBUG:   *got r_id TH-F7^ME^ME*
[2015-06-28 16:23:10,908] chirp.detect - DEBUG:     rclass.VENDOR  Yaesu

That explaines why the console output looks scrambled:
RROR: ----------------------------
INFO: Trying ID at baud 9600 with delimiter "('\r', ' ')"
