[chirp_devel] [PATCH 0 of 7] Prototype of advanced bank model

[Dan Smith]

Hi all,

For a long time, CHIRP has had a very naive internal model for dealing
with banks of memories. This was developed at a time when CHIRP only
handled Icom radios, and thus it assumed each memory could only be in one
bank at a time. Yaesu radios have a one-to-many bank system, where memories
can be in multiple banks at a time.

This patch set:

1. Creates a new bank model system
2. Demonstrates support with two icom radios (with slightly different
   bank mechanisms) and one yaesu radio
3. Adds UI elements to allow setting bank memberships

This only works for the three radios included right now, but I will finish
the support for the rest of the radios that currently have bank support
soon. Following that, I will add bank support to the radios that Jon's
patches includes.

I'm sending these to the list in case anyone is interested or has comments
about how this may or may not enable bank support for hopefully any type
of radio out there.

Thanks!
