[chirp_devel] New driver for Abbree AR-F8

[Mark Leyden]

Hi Jim, thanks for getting back to me. I have based the AR-F8 driver off
the existing KG-UV8D driver, so I will go back and see that I have missed.
(I was wondering if I missed something obvious as 1026.6 is not a tone
supported by the radio so I'm not suprised it isn't in the list...)
As for the driver, it should have been an attachment to the first mail in
this thread - if not, please let me know how to post.
As an aside, I'm developing using Python 3.9 and was wondering if there are
difficulties with that? I still haven't gotten to the bottom of the 'Radio
tried to write the wrong type of data to the SerialNone pipe' test as was
wondering if it is a Python 2/3 thing?

Thanks again,
Mark
