<font size="-1">Hello Declan,<br>
<br>
Thanks for working on the FT2 support and when you get closer, I
can help beta test your code. Curious though, will your code
support both the cable communication AND microSD-card methods?<br>

I’m back from vacation and trying the FT2D again. I’m stuck on the
memory label field. When read from the FT2D using the FT-1D
format, the label comes out gibberish. Most other memory fields
jibe quite nicely.
<div class="">I’ve tried reading the source, but got lost in
pythonese (translates and rshift and object details I just don’t
know yet.)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">SO….</div>
<div class="">when I look at the raw memory image coming from the
FT2D, the memory labels (and the memory bank names) are in
straight ASCII. (I too have not tried anything in Japanese
format.)</div>
<div class="">But when I get that image into chirp using FT-1D
template, the labels come out as mostly-unprintable characters.
It looks to me as if translation or decrypting of some sort is
happening.</div>

<div class="">Here’s an example [from my memory 0]</div>
<div class="">memory image shows ‘APRS US‘, with the standard 0xFF
packing</div>

<div class="">chirp shows ‘:’</div>
<div class="">BUT, the chirp browser shows the correct ASCII,
presumably in python's Unicode string.</div>

<div class="">Bank names are also gibberish, although the chirp
browser seems to show them to be stored as ASCII bytes rather
than python strings, although with the same 0xFF packing.</div>

<div class=""><b class="">What happened between chirp browser and
chirp? It’d seem to be straightforward to get the ASCII
