<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I’ve got one of these radios on order, but notice that Jim Unroe has uploaded a portmon capture on the open issue so thought I’d start having a look.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Some caveats, I’m just reading source; I’m not a python programmer; and I don’t have the radio in my hands yet. I’m just trying to get ahead of the game!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">However, it seems that it doesn’t follow the protocol I see in the other TYT radio drivers. It looks like the ICOM CIV clone standard, as described in icf.py. I also found this reference online which corresponds
with the file - </span><a href="http://www.oocities.org/blakkekatte/clone/icomclonedoc.pdf">http://www.oocities.org/blakkekatte/clone/icomclonedoc.pdf</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">However, the capture shows that the after the clone retrieval command the software starts downloading blocks instead of the whole memory (this is from Jim’s capture)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This command – EB – is not listed anywhere I can find, but it looks like it is asking for a block of memory at a time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This will be enough, I think, for me to read the memory when I get the radio – so this is a style question. Should I base my attempts off the icf.py - or because this is an alternate implementation perhaps
I should copy it into a new file specifically for the TH-UV88 until it is clear if other radios use this style of communication?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I’m guessing the clone out will similarly be block based when I get the radio.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
