Scan vs Skip
I'm confused Does the S stand for SCAN and the Blank for SKIP? the ["",'S",'P'] idiom is embedded in chirp. It is unfortunate that ["SKIP", "SCAN", 'P SCAN"] was not used. In the cases for FT65, FT25 and FT4 if the SCAN/SKIP bit is set SCAN is turned on if clear SKIP is turned on for a given memory slot.
Are other radio the inverse of this, I need to look
Chirp displays an S when the SCAN/SKIP bit is set.
The default in Yaesu SW is SCAN ON The default in Chirp is SKIP ON.
Swapping {"", 'S'] for ["S", ""] would cause S to indicate SKIP and "" SCAN because of the ["",'S",'P'] idiom in the memory edit code.
If I have time I'll take a run at this,
Fred

As far as I know...
" " = Scan "S" = Skip "P" = Priority Scan

As far as I know...
" " = Scan
This should be "", i.e. an empty string.
"S" = Skip "P" = Priority Scan
But yeah, you're right. CHIRP was first designed around Icom radios, which assert a skip (i.e. exclusion) flag instead of an inclusion flag. So Skip=<nothing> means don't skip.
