CHIRP

Okay, if you want to try that, we might be able to do it remotely. The general procedure is:

1. Download a base image
2. Make one modification on the radio
3. Download another image
4. Make another modification on the radio
5. Download another image

Each modification needs to be absolutely as small as possible. If you can avoid even changing the position of the dial from one image to the other, that helps a lot.

If you could start with a base image of several memories, and none of them in banks, that would be best. Add one memory to the first bank, then another to the same bank, then add one to the next bank, etc. Document what you changed between each image as carefully as possible. I assume the 8800's bank model will be similar to the other radios (i.e. the 7800) and thus it will mostly be a matter of us noting where the bank array is.

Thanks!

Okay, we might need a couple of other steps in there to put a left channel into a different bank. You can start with TEST_3 and do that and we can suss out the change.

Also, do you know if the hyper-memories store independent bank memberships? I can't remember and was thinking there was something weird about those...

I'm about to head out for a few days, but will look at these when I get back. An initial look at what you've got here seems sane.

Thanks!

FYI, I dumped my TEST 3 into FTB8800 and it shows my LEFT CH1 on bank 1, LEFT CH2 on banks 1 and 2, and RIGHT CH1 on bank 1.
I can redo these tests if you wish. In the attached TEST 4, I also added LEFT CH1 to bank 10. (FTB8800 verified that LEFT CH 1 is in BANKS 1 AND 10).

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the reminder, sorry I forgot to do this when I got back.

I've pushed r1797 for tomorrow's build. Please test it tomorrow and report back.

Thanks!

My comments:
The BANK tab is very slow to load (45-60 secs)
There are only 10 banks available on the 8800, but, the BANK tab shows 20. (is it 10 for left and 10 for right)
Bank names on the tab are zero-indexed (BANK-0), but, in the radio they start with BANK-1.

Channel 77 should be in BANK1 and BANK3 on both sides of the radio. (confirmed with FTB8800)
However, Chirp shows them in BANK-0, BANK-1, BANK-5, BANK-6

Excellent, thanks!
