Re: [chirp_devel] Yaesu FT-1802 and FT-817 support?

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's a clone type. None of the CAT control softwares support setting memories in the FT-817, if that means anything. This is what the '817 manual has to say about cloning:

Yeah, interesting. I guess it's part HF radio, part VHF radio, part handheld :)

That would be helpful. I assume starting with the FT-2800 driver and stripping out the guts would leave me with something similar?

Well, yeah, although the 2800 driver was a bit uglier than normal, and definitely not typical in terms of communication (a three-byte ack and even parity ?!). I would maybe look at one of the VX-x drivers, although I think that your comms routines are more likely to look like those of the 7800 (i.e. upload() and download().
