Cool.

Sure, I can take a look when I see your change.

I don't have a reasonable one (or an .icf for that matter) but there
should be a test image you can use in tests/images/Icom_ID-31A.img.
Probably doesn't have much/any D-STAR stuff in there though, if that's
what you're looking for. You should be able to download CS-31 and make
ICF files to test what you want, right?

The CIV drivers are a bit messy, but it shouldn't be that hard. I'd
guess one of the zero bytes is the bank number, so I'd just start
incrementing them one at a time until you get back a B-bank memory :)
