[chirp_devel] vx8dr PMS memory

[Keith Williamson]

Actually, I wasn't aware of the description in Feature #651 and it's quite
helpful. Thanks!!

I had figured out that the PMS channel pairs begin at 0xAF8A but not that
there are flags for the PMS memories at 0x3032.

I'm basically replicating much of the the approach used in the FT-817/857
drivers for the PMS support.

I'll let everyone know when I have something to test.

73's,

Keith
KF7DRV
