Hi Ron,

Thanks for the patch. I see one issue:

This set syntax wasn't added until 2.7. I think this will break 2.6
support (still required for RHEL6 and CentOS). Keep it simple; just
use a list.

It would be nice to see the ident string stored within the class
rather than maintaining this separate list, but that's not going to
work if the files all identify as "QX588UV" :-( The way you've done it
is the best option I see for now (saved imgs will open as Anytones,
but upload fine to either radio).
