Hi Ian,

> I'd like to get some feedback on this before I open an issue and attempt to implement this.  I think this would be a great issue to work on in CHIRP to get some exposure to this type of application.  I'm a corporate application developer by trade so we don't see a whole lot of GTK+ front ends interfacing with python so it has my interest.  I also have the radio to test it on.

I recently got a radio donation. I've been working on this and have
submitted a patch.
