Subject: Re: [chirp_devel] [PATCH] This is the latest experimential version for the TYT-TH9000D radio driver

One other question before I send the next revision for the TH9000D radio.

There are three versions of the same base radio (2 m , 220 and 440 Mhz versions)  - They all share the same image file format and functions, except that they operate over different frequency ranges.

I created a base class - Th9000Radio(), and then extend that class for each of the three models (e.g. Th9000144Radio(), etc) .

The issue with this is that the base class shows up in menu selections as a valid radio, along with the other three versions.
Is there any way to hide the base class?   Yes, I could make the base class as one of the three versions, and only extend it twice for the other models, but that seemed a little klugy.   Any recommendations?

thanks

Sure, I thought that you were indicating that you couldn't provide
identification for this driver. Sounds like you should be able to use
file size to rule all the other models out and use band limits to
distinguish within the 9000 line among the sub-models, right?

Thanks!
