Great to hear that there is work on this feature. You did not mention it but I suspect you know that ‘Feature #651’ in the Chirp bug tracker describes the memory map change (likely) required to implement PMS.

Count me as a potential volunteer to test your change.

Hi,

I'm currently working on adding support for the PMS memories to the VX-8R/DR/GE. After that is complete and in the build, it will be great to have some others do additional testing. 

As a second phase, I'll be looking at adding some of the other special memories. 

73's,

Ray,

Since I dont have the specs, is there any structure to these fields?  Also, the vx8dr has atleast 50 pairs of pms registers, do you have
the values for the rest of the registers?

Thanks

Chip
