Yes. Straight out of my radio.

The "Leixen_VV-898.img" in the repository has no data from 0x0000 to
0x0d00 (except for 0x0900 to 0x0906 which is the Custom Display
message). The current driver intentionally skips over this area. This
area is where all of the settings are. From 0x0D00 to 0x2000 are only
channels and names.

The failure is because I am changing the match_model to look at a
different area to detect the data file. The current place is editable
by the OEM software and once the user changes it, CHIRP no longer
detects the image and it had to be manually selected. The current
driver fills almost all of the data from 0x0000 to 0x0D00 with 0xFF as
it is skipped. The data that should be there for my patch to detect
isn't there and it won't be until my first patch is approved.

I have already uploaded it to my issue.
