Hi Jim,
let me suggest to look also at ft857 driver where I override some of the properties and methods of its base class ft817.

Not 100%

I think I get this.

This is where I think I have trouble. Although I have seen it
discussed, the concept of "helper method" is not clear to me yet.

I am studying what David just submitted for the TYT TH9000 radios. I
think I can learn from that. And looking at kenwood_live.py in
addition to the wouxun.py might also help with my understanding.
