Okay, so if it's a preprod radio, then I would say the few people that
have those needing to know they have to choose some random other model
is...not the worst thing in the world :)

It would certainly kinda suck to penalize everyone just so that the
preprod radios work under their rightful name.

What about another option, which is we include a dummy radio that alone
does the probing, and tell people that if they don't know what to use,
they can use "GeneriMobile 9000" radio, which will take a lot of time
probing all the various magics to find the right one?

We could also consider a generic "probe my radio" command in chirp that
people could run from the help menu or something, but that'll require
some UI work...
