[chirp_users] Support for Memory Banks
I'm probably missing something rather basic. In CHIRP I do not see any support for memory banks. I have an IC-7000 that has 5 banks of 99 channels each. In my IC-91AD there are 26 bands that can manage 800 memory channels. I have 4 more radios that support the concept of Memory Banks. There are many more radios available to hams that have this same basic concept for managing and grouping memory into logical blocks, known as Memory Banks. What am I missing, how do you configure CHIRP to handle Memory Banks?

Mike, Memory banks is not a limitation of software but of the radio. A UV5R, for instance, has a single bank of 128 channels. Once set up in the radios firmware, it cannot be reconfigured or split by software.

If your radio supports multiple memory "banks" or "groups", but you do not see banks/bank names on left tab of chirp, then it's probably because no one has added this feature to chirp for your radio yet.
This would need to be added by someone who: 1. has the radio in their possession, 2. has python development skills to enhance the existing driver for your radio, and 3. has the motivation and time to do it

But I thought Mike's question was regarding getting it to work in radios that do support memory banks? So while agreed the UV5R does not support them, IC-7000, IC-91AD, etc., do.
