Excellent, thanks I'll get it marked off.

It's not silly, and we support that for other Icom radios with SD cards. However, someone will need to decode the raw memory format of the 7100 in order to support that in order to do it, which is non-trivial. If you get a chance, file a feature request and attach an export from the SD card as well as the matching chirp CSV from talking to the radio. That might be enough for someone to get started.

Thanks!
