Alright, updated patch with passing tests. Turns out it does support fractional frequencies, but using a shifted BCD. I also brought in the band edges to what this thing supports when you do the software switch to wide RX.

I checked the tuning steps. This Icom doesn't store the step, as verified by diffing memory dumps and trying it out on the radio.

Cool, thanks.

Yep, see below.

One of the tests is trying to set the claimed top-end frequency of
1309MHz and getting back 309MHz. If the radio really supports this, then
something isn't right in the driver to store/fetch that value.

You define STEPS above, but don't tell CHIRP what they are. If you do
that, then the tests won't try to set frequencies that require 6.25 and
12.5 kHz steps. This will cause all of the tests (other than the one
mentioned above) to pass.

Note that all Icoms I've ever seen store the tuning step in the memory
channels. I don't know why they do this (other than to support tuning
off of a memory) but they do. It's fine if that one doesn't, or if you
don't want to support it, but all of the other Icom drivers do, just FYI.

Thanks!
