No, banks in CHIRP are bins to which memories can be assigned, which
doesn't match the concept in your radio. Your radio does it the way
Kenwood radios do (which I suspect is a function of the fact that those
radios all seem to stem from a stolen Kenwood design). I would recommend
you just number the memories 1-256, and then use the "special memory"
functionality to add the FM channels as FM01..FM25.

Same as above: add them as "special memories". Look at some of the more
complete Icom drivers for examples.
