[chirp_devel] Getting started on support for a new radio

Hey guys, I'm looking around for software to program my IC-T7H, and I came across CHIRP. By tweaking the _model line for the IC-Q7A, I got frequencies to upload, but everything else looks scrambled. I'm a Python dev myself, so I figured I'd jump in and try to contribute here. From reading the code, I understand that what I get back from the ICOM unit is a memory dump. What's the best way to go about reading through the dump and figuring out where things go? Is there a flag I can use to stash it in a file and hit it with a hex editor?
