I have a rather complete map of the FT-897D memory (which I
understand is pretty much identical to the FT-857), and the FT-817ND
as well. The only problem is, it is in code written in Java, so I
don't have clear bit-fields like I do in my C++ code for D-Star
radios. The Java code uses a table format describing the fields and
the bit positions therein, using Java "enum"s, so the code isn't
very clear to someone who is not familiar with that Java feature.<br>
<br>
If someone wants that (GPL v2) code, I have no problem providing it,
with the understanding that I don't presently have the time to
explain the code (flying weather is picking up). It doesn't look
too difficult to figure out.<br>

ps: I used GPL v2 (without the "any later version" clause) in my
code, because I don't particularly care for the idea that Richard
Stallman could decide on a new GPL license, and have <b>users</b>
arbitrarily adopt that, with unknown consequences to me. I don't
particularly mind v3 (I prefer v2; I think it's a better license
for my purposes), but I'm not comfortable with leaving the door open
to any future revisions that he or anyone else at the FSF would
create. I don't believe that reverse engineering my code is a
violation of the GPL v2 (at any rate I'll allow it in this
circumstance), but I'd like to restrict its distribution to GPL v2
only.<br>
