Is there a way to select different memory banks  in Chirp for the IC-7000? I cannot select bank B, for example, for memories that were added to bank A.
73, John, NX2I

here's another way to ask the same question...
How do i add to memory bank B using chirp on the ic-7000?

At one point, chirp did not support multiple banks for the 7000. I am not sure that feature has been added.

Would you believe? Sent from my shoe phone's big brother and still no keyboard. Please excuse auto connections caused by typhoons.

Gee, rarely talk to folks in typhoon zones, but I can't even spell GPS....!
Funny you should mention it, but I was planning to update my IC7K soon with some needed changes.
When I asked my fuzzy memory cells what to do, I think they recalled...
1- Build a Complete Load of Basics (All Settings and everything Other than the Bank entries) Plus the Channels (Bank A itself).  Call this LOAD A.
2- Switch the radio On and to Only Bank A.  (Be safe!  Disconnect Mike, and hook up good TX load, JIC!)
3- Load LOAD A.  Which _should_ go down the wires and land in Bank A, with Basics along for the ride!
4- Eyeball & scroll the display and CHECK that LOAD A, with Basics Plus Bank A, arrived warm and safe?
-- Additional Verification Option:  READ the alleged LOAD A, rename to LOAD A Check, and eyeball back in the Program SW, JIC!
5- IF Successful, DUPLICATE the LOAD A File!  Rename to LOAD B!
6- Dump the Bank A entries, and Replace with New Bank B Channel entries.  Don't mess the Basics, of course.
7- GOTO Step 2, BUT to Bank B with LOAD B.
8- Electronically Wash, Rinse, and Repeat, until All FIVE LOADs and Banks are stuffed.
9- Save your FIVE LOAD Files, for future reference, and easy updates.
10- HINT- After successfully crating and loading each of those LOAD files, PRINT each so you have a clue what ya stuffed!
11- Done!
Please let us know if my fuzzy cells were Right, or just lied through their silly neurons?
Good Luck & 73!

I just looked at the information at Chirp.Danplanet.com, and it says that Chirp does not support the Bank Index and Bank Names, but it does support Bank.  I am not sure what that is really telling us.

Hi, Bill!
Have you actually tried it?
Did you read the modest suggestions?
CHIRP only has to deal with just one bank at a time....
Good Luck!
Gene  :)

OK, Bill, you can't go wrong by just _reading_ a bank via CHIRP, right?
IF you get the goodies OK, then switch to another bank and read it again.
And see if you get correct but different clues....
IF OK, then you can likely _write_ OK too!

Using the world-famous "trial and error" method,  I have a work-around to enable loading into different memory banks on the IC-7K. Because it's free don't expect much...

Here are some steps to load multiple "Banks" onto the IC-7000 using Chirp.

Comments: the "Banks" tab on the left of the Chirp screen only tells you which memory numbers correspond to which Bank. Knowing that the IC-7000 has 99 memories per Bank tells you everything you need to know; the little check boxes shown in the Banks display do nothing. For example, you cannot select memory 13 (in bank A) and then select Bank B (by checking the B box) and get the result copied into the higher memory numbers (99-198 for Bank B).
The way to get information into Banks B, C, etc. is to type (or cut/paste) into the Chirp Memory display at the appropriate memory channel number.
For Bank B, for example, a memory number in the range 99-198. You can figure the rest by multiplication.
Be sure to save your memory information in some spreadsheet, as if the IC-7000 gets reset, you have lost it all. Note that the export function in Chirp (at least in my Linux version) only gives a fraction of the information you put in, as a CSV file.

Steps:
1) download your existing memories from the IC-7000 into Chirp,
2) in Chirp, select a Memory Range 0 - 494,
3) enter the new contents into the appropriate channel numbers,
4) forget about the "Banks" tab.

The Chirp display is "live" for the IC-7000; there is no need to upload to the radio.
