I just did a driver for the LUITON LT-725uv. There is nothing in the
downloaded memory that I could see that would be useful uniquely
identify this image.

What I did, which was suggested to me by others, in order to be able
to positively identify an image from this radio was to append the
radio's model, LT-725UV, to the end of the downloaded data. This added
identifier is outside of the "range" used for cloning to the radio, so
it is invisible to the radio.
