[chirp_devel] New driver for Abbree AR-F8

[Jim Unroe]

Hi Mark,

I finally got a chance to look at this. It would help if the first few
channels had CTCSS tones and DTCS codes programmed in them using the
OEM software or manually from the radio and a list stating the channel
numbers and which tone/code is programmed in each.

But if I remark out the additional code that was added to the
abbree_ar-f8.py _get_tone() helper over and above what is in the
kguv8d.py code and then enable channel 41 which has a tone, it
displays without error.

Loc: 41
Frequency: 430.937500
Duplex: Tone
Tone: 71.9
