All,
I have received many reports of AnyTone D878 CPS 2.02N not reading DCF files written by Contact Manager. The problem (as several folks noted) is that CPS 2.02N is expecting some kind of additional data that are not contained in the DCF files written by Contact Manager. The DCF format was defined by AnyTone as simply the information written by D868 CPS 1.21. This is a very precisely defined format; Contact Manager follows it exactly as specified.
AnyTone historically has been very responsive to our requests and I anticipate that they will provide the information to help resolve the problem. I hope we will learn that the DCF format has been extended appropriately to preserve special radio settings not covered in the existing DCF definition during CM transactions.
I'll keep everyone posted and will post the updated tool once it becomes available.
Best,
Tom N0GSG
