Cool, and it uploads to the radio okay?

Nope!  Was focused on reading, having pulled an all-nighter, and hadn't
gotten to writing...  Write resulted in:
 
	RadioError: Failed to communicate with the radio: Did not get clone
result from radio

Log attached.  The errors don't note my driver file and I don't recognize
the variable "split", so I'm lost here.  The radio did legitimately throw an
error (visible on display) but I don't know why.  Guess I was thinking this
would be pretty symmetric.

Skips are usually stored in a separate array somewhere in memory.
Diffing the hexdumps of whole images is how I find them.

I can probably manage diffing a hex dump if you like, but I don't know what
to do with it when found.

Okay, I'll take a look in the next couple days.

> Want to try to get the ID-51A supported?

If the ID-51A is anything like the ID-31A, it's probably more than I want to
do remotely like this. I have pretty good success getting my hands on
current Icom gear, though, so I'll probably be able to do this one in the
not to distant future.

It's the dual band version of ID-31A, so even a bit more complicated.  Not
available yet, but due soon.

I'll get back to you on this V80 stuff in a bit, thanks!
