would love to have r20 support even though i caved and bought butel arc20 which has some ugly bugs.<div><br></div><div>/guy (73 de kg5vt | wqpz784)</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 5, 2012 at 1:33 PM, Tom Hayward <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:esarfl@gmail.com" target="_blank">esarfl@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Yes, this is what makes Chirp so great. Take a look at this file for example:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/repository/entry/chirp/ic2200.py" target="_blank">http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/repository/entry/chirp/ic2200.py</a><br>
<br>
It starts out with a memory definition, which you'll find familiar to c structs.<br>
<br>
Later you'll see @directory.register. This tells Chirp that the<br>
following class is a new radio to support.<br>
<br>
class IC2200Radio(icf.IcomCloneModeRadio, chirp_common.IcomDstarSupport)<br>
<br>
This is the basic class definition for a radio. In here you will write<br>
all the code specific to this model. Notice that no code here writes<br>
to the serial port. This is because the IC2200 shares a clone protocol<br>
with most (all?) other Icoms. These features are provided by<br>
IcomCloneModeRadio, and you don't need to rewrite them (unless your<br>
model uses a different protocol).<br>
<br>
The important methods you will need to write for your radio are<br>
get_features(), get_memory(), and set_memory(). Here you translate the<br>
radio-specific data into something Chirp's GUI can understand.<br>

</div>No, Mercurial. More information here:<br>
