openYaesu FT-70D Memory Bank issues

Description
Editing memory banks for the FT-70D does not work 100% correctly. I'll have to do some more investigation (comparing with the OEM software and making some minimal test cases) but this is what I've noticed:
Add channels and assign them to memory banks using Chirp:
- Define the channels
- Assign names to some memory banks
- Assign some channels to some of the banks
On the radio, attempting to enter memory bank mode says "NO BNK." However, the bank information is stored but just can't be accessed before using the following procedure:
- Select a memory channel that is not currently assigned to a certain bank
- Hold [V/M] and dial to one of the memory banks that does not contain that channel in chirp (example: if channel 1 was added to bank 1, select bank 2. it will not work with bank 1). The bank names will show up when selecting one
- Press [V/M]
- After adding this channel to a new bank, all of the banks that were set in Chirp become available
Additionally, when tuning through a bank, there seems to be a "ghost" channel entry before the first and last channel actually in the bank. This ghost entry displays the channel number before the first real channel but the same frequency and channel name as whatever channel was selected last (either the first or last channel in the bank depending on which direction you tune the dial). In the examples I've tried there are unprogrammed channels before the ones I have stored in banks (example: bank 3 contains 50-59, but 49 is empty. I haven't tested with real data in 49)
