[chirp_devel] Bug 937: FT-857D crashes due to problematic channel

[IZ3GME Marco]

Hi Robert
I have spent some time analysing the image you sent but I don't see 
anything special in the offending memories.
Please manually create on the radio a memory with the very same setting 
and then download & send the image so I can compare it to the one 
generated by chirp.

The master reset should be the one with [F] and [V/M] keys, as of my 
knowledge, but I don't really know if it clean memories area.

Anyway to clean up used memories you can double delete them in chirp: 
the first delete just inactivate them and the second write 0xFF in each 
byte.
