A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows:
Changes for Build #449 [Dan Smith dsmith@danplanet.com] Add test image for Alinco DJ-G7
Related to #699
[Mathias Weyland lt-betrieb@hb9uf.ch] Add support for Alinco DJ-G7EG. Partially addresses #699
This patch adds basic support for the DJ-G7EG. The patch was tested on Linux and Windows 7 and can reliably download memories from, and upload memories to the radio. Other flavours of the DJ-G7 are not supported yet because I don't know whether they use the same memory map or not.
The patch introduces a new class to the alinco.py driver. This is some- what unfortunate because the radios supported by alinco.py so far are all quite similar. The DJ-G7EG is considerably more different from the others, yet still sufficiently similar to re-use some of the methods implemented in AlincoStyleRadio. I'll leave it up to the reviewers to comment on that. Code that might be of particular interest to reviewers is marked with "FIXME" comments.
The patch does not support changing bank assignments, groups, and/or radio settings. I am planning to add dynamic bank assignements as soon as I have figured out how to do this best with Chirp.
[Tyler Tidman tyler.tidman@draak.ca] Minor PEP8 cleanup for some drivers. Fixes #4161.
