Anytone import - name cropping issue
Posted: Sat Mar 04, 2023 3:37 am
I found this issue in 0.3.227.1
I have an Anytone codeplug with the following channels:
...
"1094","WA6NMF-70-Santa","443.67500","448.67500","A-Analog"...
"1095","WA6RQX-70-Soleda","444.37500","449.37500","A-Analog"...
"1096","WA6VPL-2-Lompoc","147.12000","147.72000","A-Analog"...
...
"1192","WA6PWW-70-Fremon","442.60000","447.60000","A-Analog"...
"1193","WA6RQX-70-Bakers","442.75000","447.75000","A-Analog"...
"1194","WA6ZTY-70-Berkel","442.27500","447.27500","A-Analog"...
...
Import crops names to 10 characters (which is fine) but then it uses the cropped names to identify the channels and mixes them up. Note that "WA6RQX-70-Bakers" has frequencies from "WA6RQX-70-Soleda" after the conversion.

[Update] I just realized that in the codeplug I have quite a few entries with the same name and they are also affected by this issue. I believe the Anytone channel number would be a better unique id for them during the conversion.
Thank you for the great job. Your editor saved the day so many times for me.
