[chirp_devel] Provide Radio specific instructions?
Would it be reasonable to allow the radio drivers to provide some radio specific text that would be presented to the user when selecting download / upload?
Granted it's mostly (yaesu) clone mode radios that require the user to know all the steps, but if you don't do it often it's easy to forget.

I turned the radio on while holding the "MHz/PRI" button. Then turned the dial to F-7 CLONE
Should I do something else?
You missed a step. Page 66 of your manual:

Yes, it's just a Yaesu problem.
I've proposed this... just a popup dialog with the instructions to appears between selecting "Download" or "Upload" and the start of the actual download process. No one has written it yet. There might even be an open issue about it, but I don't recall.

It would be nice if the program prompted you on how to set the radio into the proper mode for transmission/receipt. 73, Alan - W6ARH
