Hi Dan and Jim, This are all the patches related to the driver IO so far.

Dan this are safe to apply but not to release until Jim confirmed with 
all the radios he has that it works as expected, as this radios are 
tricky on the serial line.

Jim as you may noticed I have changed thing a lot with the Dan advice, 
please test the driver and let's use this emails in the devel list to 
coordinate the job and needed changes (I hope to be none or minimal).

Now there is a SERIAL_TIMEOUT var to tweak for speed and safeness of 
work for all radios. So far the most slow was the QYT KT-UV890 so try to 
reach Robin to test it once you have tuned this param for the BTECHS & 
WACCOM Mini. (you must have Robin's email in one of mines, if not ask me 
privately)

I set it to 0.6 seconds to start, my math from the former values and the 
excel spreadsheet shows that this value is big enough with some room to 
improvement (lower it, my math says that about 0.45 is the sweet spot).

I will try to connect from the park again at noon and evening to check 
the progress.

73 from the park with the WiFi ;-)
