> the ["",'S",'P'] idiom is embedded in chirp.  It is unfortunate that ["SKIP", "SCAN", 'P SCAN"]  was not used.  In the cases for FT65, FT25 and FT4 if the SCAN/SKIP bit is set SCAN is turned on if clear SKIP is turned on for a given memory slot.

As far as I know...

" " = Scan
"S" = Skip
"P" = Priority Scan
