how to load the secondary menu in the settings, or how to display other arrays in lists after the channel list
I am new to python, I want to add HA1G radio model to chirp, but I don't know how to load the secondary menu in the settings, or how to display other arrays in lists after the channel list. Please help me
I'm sorry, I didn't express it clearly. I need to load data for a zone list, which has approximately 64 entries. Each entry needs to be loaded and support selecting multiple channels. I'm not sure how to achieve this in Chirp.

I read about the use of bank, and it seems that the channel is divided into several blocks for display, but the field names of my different data blocks are different. It seems that I cannot use bank, or I have not fully understood the use of bank. [image: image.png]

I'm assuming you are describing what Chirp calls bank memory where channels are assigned to banks. I've not implemented banked memory so someone else can probably offer more specifc advice. From what I can see it looks like you need to do a few things:
Tell the UI that you will have memory banks by setting radio feature: rf.has_bank = True. If your radio has named banks set: rf.has_bank_names = True
From here you will need to implement a BankModel class, there are a
couple to choose from depending on whether your memory is staticly assigned to a bank (StaticBankModel), present in 0 or more banks (BankModel), or members of multiple banks (MTOBankModel). Unless you have a StaticBankModel you will need to implement the BankModel (MappingModel) functon prototypes.
You will also need to implement a Bank class, if your Banks have names the NamedBank class is what you want.
The class references can be found in chirp_common:

How should I implement lists of different data blocks? For example, the scan list has about 60 pieces of data, each with about 10 fields. It is different from the channel list, but I can't find a component to display the list data.

The scan data and channel data exist at the same time. Is it possible to display the channel data block in a list at present?
No, you don't get to change how the UI works. The driver needs to present the data model in the standard form so the UI can present it to the user. CHIRP is an abstraction, and trying to make it look like the OEM software is not how it works.
There are several many-to-one and one-to-one bank implementations in CHIRP, and I'm sure one of those will be a good example for you to use for your zone mapping. You might also look at some of the Kenwood commercial radio implementations that build up zones as sub-devices dynamically in the backend so the user sees per-zone memory objects.
Can the scan data block also be displayed in a list at the same time?
No. Scan flags are per-channel in the "skip" column.
I'd definitely recommend taking a good look at several other existing drivers as there's lots of prior art. I assume you're trying to implement a channelized conventional radio and not something like a DMR radio or something right? The latter will likely not be a good fit for much of CHIRP's internal modeling.
