I received mails from several hams who had trouble with converting
codeplugs from one type of radio to another, and found that two distinct
issues could pop up - - one, if the first digit of the manufacturer ID
code in the codeplug was corrupted, that incorrect data would be
propagated to the new codeplug; and second, the frequency range data
within the codeplug (which is stored in two different locations and
methods, and varies by model) was not consistently being updated.
Version 1.32, which can be downloaded from http://n0gsg.no-ip.org/contact-manager/, corrects both of these problems and adds support for the Retevis RT3, which is yet another MD380 work-alike.
If
you open your codeplug in Contact Manager and it says "Unknown" in the
Radio Type dropdown box, then you know that the manufacturer ID
information is corrupted in your file. Simply choose the correct
manufacturer ID, then save the codeplug and you'll be back in business.
