I’ve read #174, #375, and #807, and it appears Drew had a look, but did not complete the project.

The driver for the IC-V/U-82 seems to be a good starting point for a driver for the IC-V80 (and maybe the IC-V8).  Is anyone interested in providing guidance?

Using the existing IC-V/U-82 driver to download data from an IC-V80 produces “Unable to probe radio band”.  Perhaps, the model data string is shorter for the 80 than for the 82, so accessing md[20] produces an exception?

What is the preferred approach for adding support for the older (-80 and -8) radios?  Copy the existing -82 driver to a new file or modify the existing -82 driver to support the older radios?

Thanks,
