Is the first step documenting how the VX-8 banks are stored in the memory image? Has anyone started on this with the VX-8 or similar Yaesu?
Is there bank support in chirp for any other radio?
Starting at 0x135A, there are 24 records with memory bank names. Each record is 18 bytes long. In tests/images/vx8.img, they are as follows:
2 bytes 0x0 6 bytes "BANK 1" - "BANK24" in the label charset 10 bytes 0xff
The manual shows a bank named '2 m amateur band' - 15 letters. So the 10 bytes are probably used for longer names. Could the 0x0 bytes be used to store name length, if it is "extra" length? I don't own a VX-8, so I can't try.
Ahead of the bank names, there are 72 records with 2 bytes 0x0 and 16 bytes 0xff. May be they are names of something else.

#112: Memory bank support for VX-8 ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: jesper@… | Type: Feature Status: new | Priority: Functionality Milestone: | Component: Bank Editor Version: 0.1.11 | Keywords: Platform: Linux | ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Chirp currently doesn't seem to support memory bank editing in Yaesu VX-8, though the VX-8 does actually have memory banks. Would it be possible to add support for it in chirp?
