Error when writing to GD88

Hi,

I got the attached error when trying to write to my GD88. I thought it was because I did not have the relay mode and relay monitor filled in but that was not the case.

Let me know your thoughts on this. Hopefully you can save me again. This is the last error before I can have a solid first code plug on my radio!

Thank you!

I've made changes to the python script so I can't tell where the error is appearing, since line 979 is now different :lol:

However if you send me the JSON file, I should be able to run it with the debugger and see where it fails.
You can PM it if you don't want to upload it publicly :)

There were some (71 to be exact :lol:) 'null' channels in the json, not sure how it happened. I'll need to look into that.

Also "Relay Monitor" and "Relay Mode" were also set to 'null'
This would be because they were not set when using the import/export feature. I have now included them and should be fixed for the next update, soon.

For now I have opened the codeplug in the updated version and saved it which should have fixed any errors in it, so it should no longer give that error.

You came through again! It works AND I was able to investigate my other channel CSV and figure out mistakes that were made with 1020 repeaters in it.

Just a few things I noticed and changed to make the file with more repeaters(1020) work:
-I searched through and found that there was one row that had blank CC codes
-I also realized I never numbered the rows properly for each zone like you did on the one you kindly fixed for me!
-The Relay related columns don't seem to matter(whether they are blank after importing or not) because it still imported and wrote to the radio
-I changed the Rx and Tx tones that were set as nothing to 0 rather than OFF

I now have a complete(for now) Code plug that I can use and lightly modify.

Thank you for your outstanding tech support and sounds like that new version is going to be a huge step forward. This program is a billion times better than the garbage software that "comes with" the GD88 partially because of the fact it tells the user that they messed up and gives an error rather than nothing.

73!
