[chirp_devel] Icom ic-7300 new driver

[Martin Cooper]

Hi Rick,

You are doing far too much work here. The IC-7300 is not a clone mode
radio, it's a live mode radio. As Dan mentioned, you should be extending
the same base class as other Icom live mode radios, in icomciv.py. Looking
at the IC-7300 Full Manual, I see that the IC-7300 behaves in exactly the
same way as the Icom live mode radios that are already supported. Thus
you'll only need to add a few definitions to icomciv.py in order to have
IC-7300 support.

Looking through the existing IC-7200 code should help you to understand
what needs to be done. Since I'm the one most recently in that module,
adding IC-910H, I'd be happy to help if you have questions about how the
icomciv.py code works. It took me a while to figure it out, but it's
actually quite straightforward.

Martin.
