Hi Steve,

Usually a not showing settings is related to a out of limits parameter in the radio firmware. It can be also a bad validation in the driver (remember that we are reverse-engineering it, so some things are assumed and can be wrong)

Can you provide a .img for your radio to analyze and test?

Please read yout radio, save the file and upload it to this issue.

Steve,

Your radio has a setting that is out-of-range. If you would attache a debug.log file or a saved image from your radio, it would be easy to determine which one it is.

A possible quick fix would be to perform a menu 40 (RESET) on your radio to get a valid setting and then import the channel memories from your "bad" image back into your hopefully now "good" tab.

Current .img fle is attached. I don't know how to get the debug.log file if you need it, though. Thanks, Steve

Steve,

You radio's memory, and therefor this image, is totally corrupted. Did you try a reset as suggested? Did you happen to save and unedited "factory" image from your radio before you started making changes?

Reset your radio. Download from it and see if you can access the settings menu. If you can, save the "reset" image and attach it to this issue.

Steve,

I think I have cleaned up most (if not all of) the corruption. Please try this.

Thanks Jim - your repaired image file is working perfectly! I don't know how my rig's memory got corrupted, or how you figured it out, but you deserve a gold medal! 73's, Steve, KE6FX
