I edited my FT-857D (US version) image with CHiRP (current tip pulled from hg) that
causes my radio to crash and go into a restart loop when accessing the problematic
channel.  (Frequency is 449.325, TSQL, PL 136.5)

Originally the offending entry was copy and pasted from a Wouxun which
made it show up with an odd split 449.325 and 444.325 instead of an offset of -5.0 Mhz.

However, I was able to make the problem occur just entering that info by
hand without using copy and paste.

Also, does anyone know how to reset the FT-8[59]7 to get a truly clean image?

I did all three resets, which did reset all of the settings and made it appear
as if all of the memories had been deleted, however, I see from looking at
a dump of the image file the memories were just marked inactive and most
of the data was still there.   I was trying to get as pristine of an image
as possible for isolating this.
