It's been a couple months since I looked at code of all the Anytone drivers, but I don't recall the 5888 memory map looking similar to what I found in my DB20. IIRC, I used the 778 as my code base, but would have to look to be sure.
Scanning *is* supported on the DB20, you hit function-4 on the mic to scan. And you can lock out channels, I have NOAA weather in there but it skips that during scan. There are flags for things like compander and scrambler as well.
No banks or zones though, that would be nice (I really need a radio with them, why don't more mfgrs have that?!). With 500 channels on here, banks would be great for travel scanning. It does scan fairly quickly though, at least.

Gary,
I took a quick look at the Anytone 779UV and it's probably pretty close
to what I've been developing for the (Anytone-based) PowerWerx DB750-X.
I started with anytone.py (for the AnyTone 5888UV), extracted out some
common base classes, and then implemented my new driver from there. It's
all working but I'm still crossing t's, dotting i's, and I had to take a
break from that. I'll see if I can finish up in the next day or two and
get that all checked in. (Whether or not my PR is approved, you'll still
be able to take a look at my code).

BTW, the main difference between the AnyTone 5888UV and the PowerWerx
DB750-X is that the latter has bank support and the bank number is
stored with the memory flags (Channel in use, Skip & PSkip), changing
the flags table from 4-bits per channel to 8 bits. Also, the latter has
750 channels vs. 758 for the former. In your case I don't see that
scanning is supported at all, much less banks, so I wonder if you even
have a flags table.
Anyway, watch for my PR soon.
