Dan,
I sent a separate query - I'm not sure how/when you determine if the radio has extra settings. Seems mem.extra is only populated sometimes for set_memory.
Should this be a radio features flag, e.g., rf.has_extra_channel_settings?

Hi Kosta,
I noticed you seem to be very comfortable with GTK and UI portions of the code.
Do you know what it would take to enable a column in edit table view with an "edit" button when the radio has extended channel settings?

I suspect alot of users aren't even aware that there are extra channel settings for some radios (even in windows world, unless they are handy with right-click, i.e., power-users)

Well, control-click gets you that without any extra settings, but I can
imagine that dyed in the wool mac folks probably wouldn't think of that.

Well, I right-click on everything looking for more stuff, but... :)

Yeah, that seems reasonable, as long as we only display that button for
radios that have extra settings in the memories.
