<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hello<br>
<br>
a few days ago, i reported a similar problem. i got an Pofung
UV-6R, which is definitely not support by Chirp.<br>
The reason is simply, there are different versions of this radio
with different firmware versions.<br>
<br>
My radio shows HDBF230 on screen, when typing on '3' and switch
on.<br>
On Software for entering programming mode, there is a need to send
first some magic bytes.<br>
Chirp tries this<br>
UV5R_MODEL_UV6 = "\x50\xBB\xFF\x20\x12\x08\x23"<br>
UV5R_MODEL_UV6_ORIG = "\x50\xBB\xFF\x12\x03\x98\x4D"<br>
by my model needs<br>
UV5R_MODEL_UV6_NEW = "\x50\xBB\xFF\x20\x14\x11\x22" <br>
<br>
Currently i develope a new driver for this radio, but it needs
many time to check the differences.<br>
Today, i can download from the device, all memories are ok, but
some data like vfo is missing.<br>
Maybe in a few days, i will have the correct behaviour, but until
now, entering data by operators fingers is required.<br>
<br>
remark: i am not an official developer of chirp, its just for fun.<br>

<pre wrap="">Howdy!
I naively purchased a 2015 Baofeng UV-6R as my first radio and have
found chirp (Chirp? CHIRP? C.H.I.R.P.?) to not support the radio,
which makes programming it from my Mac somewhat problematic.
I've scoured the Internet and reached out to as many folks as I could
find to see if they had it working, and it appears the 2015 release of
the radio just doesn't work with chirp today.
I'd like to help fix that. I was a (Java and PL/SQL) developer in a
past life and can hack on Python code when I have to. Is there a
guide available that describes how to start porting another radio, or
is there a developer who is interested in working with me on this? If
I need to send my radio somewhere because it's a super dark art, I'm
willing to take that step.
Somebody started an issue for it here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/2761">http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/2761</a>
Thanks!
