If only 6 characters appear, then this is because the radio's firmware limits the display to only supporting 6 characters. This is common for these so-called 'waterproof' models. Because of this, the default name length configured in the driver is 6 characters. Then for the few models that have been found to support 7 characters, the name length is expanded to 7 characters. The GT-3WP is one that is set to 7. > 2. the 'B' or lower channel is set incorrectly compared to the intended > setting in CHIRP. How so? The code that handles this is quite mature and has been working satisfactorily for around 8 years. Usually when someone thinks one or both display lines are not working as they expect, it is what they expect that is incorrect. So please explain here what you think is not working or go ahead and open a ticket. Your choice. > Has anyone else flashed this model recently?
