[chirp_devel] Getting started on support for a new radio

[Eric Allen]

I got the chirp.py command figured out and I'm dumping memory, which gets
me pretty far. For upload to the radio, though, I'm stuck.

When downloading, the "Last addr" is 03b0. If I upload the range from
0x0000 to 0x03B0, the progress indicator on the radio gets stuck at half
way and it never leaves "CL IN". I tried a binary search on the size, and
it seems to want somewhere around 0x600 to get to full on the progress bar,
but right around there it will sometimes CL ERR and sometimes get stuck.

Anybody with experience on ICOMs have some idea what's going on here?
