OK, I am having a dilemma.. I have the new Yaesu FT-450D driver working 99.876% perfectly (+/- 10%). My problem is that it fails run_tests with two very specific issues- 1) The FT-450D uses a secondary 2-bit value to modify the base 'mode' for data modes. This causes the Brute Force test to fail the compare_mem test, since it doesn't know about that modifier. 2) The FT-450D supports a Memory Group on/off option that changes the memory display format from simple 0-500 channels, to 10 50-channel groups (Ex: MEM-02-01, for number 51). Since the radio does not store this info in any form of bank memory, I have chosen to use the Comment field to show the group index when that option is enabled. Therefore this causes run_tests Edges and Brute Force tests to fail compare_mem when it sets a blank channel name and I overwrite it.
Since the driver works now for all upload and download configurations and modes, should I care that it fails these tests?
