[chirp_devel] vx8dr PMS memory

[Keith Klamm]

Great to hear that there is work on this feature. You did not mention it but I suspect you know that ‘Feature #651’ in the Chirp bug tracker describes the memory map change (likely) required to implement PMS.

Count me as a potential volunteer to test your change.

73,
