What are the power settings column for?

Steve,
I don't have an FT-897D, but after loading one of the test .img files and taking a look, my guess would be that it is used for each of the memories to select between one of the 4 possible power levels.

Sorry Jim, bad call ;)
FT897 does not have the power level in each memory, that Chirp column is unused for this radio. Instead it has 4 different power set for HF, 6m, VHF and UHF; that can be found in Chirp inside the settings tab. The radio automatically set power level according any time is tuned to each band.

Thanks Marco. That explains Steve's question. Then why would the Power column be there? Can't it be suppressed? Or am I still missing something?

You know Jim that the layout of the "main screen" in Chirp is the same for all radio, it would be nice to be able to configure it depending on radio kind and user settings but the UI is not a part of the software I feel confident to modify.

The table is configurable to not show the power level column if it's not applicable. In RadioFeatures, set valid_power_levels=[]. I'm guessing you set this when you added power support, but nothing else should be using this list, so even if you have power support in the settings, you don't need to declare them here. If it's convenient for you to do that, then maybe we need another flag about whether or not they're "per memory".

Thanks Dan! I didn't know!!
A patch is on the way.
