I did not realize the other options were so intermixed with the memories. The read before write now make more sense.
Yep, every setting you can change in the radio is stored in the image with the memories. On Icom, Kenwood (and some other) radios, it would be possible to do a download, merge, upload operation to get closer to what you want. However, Yaesu radios would require a lot of button pushing by the operator to make that work since they are not as sophisticated. That means it'd be hard to implement in a way that would make everyone happy.
I see a need for a bulk erase memories option.
Select all, right click, delete all should do it, right?
So I would read the first one, setup the memories, then program all the rest the same.
And, of course, if they are all the same model, you'd not do the import each time, but rather blow the same image into every radio, which should go pretty fast.
