[chirp_devel] Getting started on support for a new radio

[Eric Allen]

Looks like it may be a timing issue. If I sleep for a few seconds between
sending the CMD_CLONE_END packet and looking for a confirmation packet, the
progress indicator on the radio gets to 100% and the display goes to "CL
END". I still get an error on the console, though:

chirp.errors.RadioError: Failed to communicate with the radio: Did not get
clone result from radio.

To get the radio out of "CL END", I have to boot it.
