Are you talking about "Receiving mode", "Launch signaling", "Transmit
end signaling", "Compandor and Scrambler"? These are "extra"
per-channel settings and are how and where they should be.

What do you mean they didn't take? Are you sure? All "extra"
per-channel settings are accessed through the Memory Properties
editor.

1. Highlight one or more memory rows
2. Click the [Properties] button near the top of the spreadsheet style
memory editor (and alternate method would be to right click on a
highlight memory row and choose "Properties" from the menu that
appears)
3. Now with the "Memory Properties" editor displayed click on the "Other" tab.

Now you should see the 5 "extra" settings. If these settings don't
work on your radio (I bet they do), then skip them when it isn't the
LT-725UV. Something like...

    if self.MODEL == "LT-725UV":
        # Extra
        mem.extra = RadioSettingGroup("extra", "Extra")

        if _mem.recvmode == 0xFF:
            val = 0x00
        else:
            val = _mem.recvmode
        recvmode = RadioSetting("recvmode", "Receiving mode",
                                 RadioSettingValueList(LIST_RECVMODE,
                                     LIST_RECVMODE[val]))
        mem.extra.append(recvmode)

        if _mem.botsignal == 0xFF:
            val = 0x00
        else:
            val = _mem.botsignal
        botsignal = RadioSetting("botsignal", "Launch signaling",
                                 RadioSettingValueList(LIST_SIGNAL,
                                     LIST_SIGNAL[val]))
        mem.extra.append(botsignal)

        if _mem.eotsignal == 0xFF:
            val = 0x00
        else:
            val = _mem.eotsignal
        eotsignal = RadioSetting("eotsignal", "Transmit end signaling",
                                 RadioSettingValueList(LIST_SIGNAL,
                                     LIST_SIGNAL[val]))
        mem.extra.append(eotsignal)

        compandor = RadioSetting("compandor", "Compandor",
                                 RadioSettingValueBoolean(bool(_mem.compandor)))
        mem.extra.append(compandor)

        scrambler = RadioSetting("scrambler", "Scrambler",
                                 RadioSettingValueBoolean(bool(_mem.scrambler)))
        mem.extra.append(scrambler)

Sure.

I'm not sure what you mean by this (but it's early). The "Browser" tab
seems to work fine for me
