[chirp_devel] Radioddity DB20G (aka Anytone 779UV)

[Gary Pupurs]

It's been a couple months since I looked at code of all the Anytone
drivers, but I don't recall the 5888 memory map looking similar to what I
found in my DB20. IIRC, I used the 778 as my code base, but would have to
look to be sure.

Scanning *is* supported on the DB20, you hit function-4 on the mic to scan.
And you can lock out channels, I have NOAA weather in there but it skips
that during scan. There are flags for things like compander and scrambler
as well.

No banks or zones though, that would be nice (I really need a radio with
them, why don't more mfgrs have that?!). With 500 channels on here, banks
would be great for travel scanning. It does scan fairly quickly though, at
least.
