[chirp_devel] Yaesu FT-897D support

[VK3NAF]

Hi,

Yep, I've subscribed to the developers list. I'll keep an eye out for the new build and try it out. I'll let you know how I go and, hopefully, have an image file for you.

At some point, time permitting, I plan on trying out a serial sniffer program between my Icom IC-746 and a Windows machine in order to attempt reverse engineering the way it reads and writes to the radios memory. I can pass on my findings if you're interested.

Sorry I can't be of more assistance but my coding skills are rather rudimentary.

Have fun!

If it works, it should grab all the data from the radio, but then chirp will complain once completed. However, if you ignore the errors and go to File->Save As, you should be able to save out the memory map as a .img file. If that works, could you send it to us for analysis?
