Probably, but not definitely :)

It's possible that they're very similar and that just tweaking the
mem_format (or the offset where it starts looking for it) is all that is
needed. If so, it may be best to make the V80 driver inherit from the
T70, and only change a few things. However, keeping it separate like you
have it now is probably the best way to start. If you start making minor
tweaks to T70 code, that would be your indication that sharing is warranted.

Cool.

It's not a language or environment thing, it's a CHIRP thing:

http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/How_to_report_issues

There is a section on there for "getting your debug log".

The debug log will give you what you need.

Oh, you're running from the command-line, then yeah, the debug log
contents are just echoed to the console in that case. When the download
is complete, you should see it echo the "Last addr:" and "End Frame:" to
the console there. It may have scrolled off the screen amidst all the
failures to parse the V80 data in T70 format. Might be good to pipe it
to a file for perusal or something.

Sounds like you're getting there... :)
