CHIRP

It was noticed while performing development for the Baofeng K6 and K61 models that the CHIRP mapping for DTMF *, #, A, B, C and D signals did not match the factory programming software. The current mapping, DTMF_CHARS = "0123456789 *#ABCD" , displays the characters programmed by the factory software as show in the first column as the characters as shown in the second column below.

    DDD | AAA

The attached screen captures shows 16 DTMF Signal Codes each programmed and named with the 16 available DTMF characters using the factory software for the Baofeng UV-17ProGPS and the Baofeng BF-F8HP PRO and then displayed in CHIRP after downloading from each radio. Signal Code x and Signal Code Name x should match for all 16 codes however Signal Code 11 - Signal Code 16 do not match as described above.

The corrected mapping, DTMF_CHARS = "0123456789ABCD*#" , will properly map the correct DTMF signal in the radio with the displayed DTMF character in CHIRP as shown in the screen capture for the K6.
