[chirp_devel] Implementing Banks in CHIRP Driver

[Craig Jones]

I just went through that myself. The first two questions: 1. Can one 
memory belong to multiple banks simultaneously? 2. Does every memory 
have to belong to at least one bank? The answers determine which base 
class you use for the bank model.

You need to implement a bank model so that Chirp can inquire, for 
example, which memories are in bank C?

You also need to implement get_bank(), set_bank(), clear_bank() for a 
memory (in the radio class), which will be called by the bank model.

Hopefully, that's enough to get you started.
