I thought you said the V80 couldn't do names? Were you just
talking about bank names? 

> It appears to me that a memory channel is 16 bytes long. 

Agreed.

> The first two bytes appear to be frequency / 5000, not three as in IC-T70. 

Could be, but watch out for the case when/where frequencies are 6.25kHz
step (unless the V80 doesn't support that).

Cool!

On Icom radios, that is usually the case, yes. The enumerations are in
chirp_common.TONES, and you should see that array used in the T70
driver in the same way you'll need to use it.

You should strip out any code that is not used, yes. Are you sure it
doesn't even support the low-end bank model of just A-J? If you look at
something like the IC2200 driver, you'll see that simpler model in use.
I've not seen any Icom radios in the last ten years that didn't support
at least that bank model.

Well, it's probably failing to parse something else. You'll need to
look at the output on the console while it's trying to parse the image
to see why. Probably a stack trace that ends in a complain about
something on a specific line in the code. I would comment out
everything in get_memory() that you don't have implemented and slowly
add them back, starting with frequency.

Good progress, sounds like success is on the horizon :)
