Apparently the Powerwerx KG-UV6X doesn't have a PONMSG menu in the radio or
the setting their programming software. That is probably why the stuff the
byte with 0xFF.

Anyway, if you set the value to 3 and upload it to my KG-UV-6D, then the
Power-on Message is the battery voltage. So would it be better to say:

options = ["Off", "Welcome", "V bat", "V bat"]

I suppose another solution would be if PONMSG is equal to 0x99, assume that
the radio is the X variant and skip the Power-on Message setting. But I
suppose I should find out if the radio honors this setting or not. It could
be it does even though the setting is absent in the radio and OEM software.
