Doug,
You are going about this in exactly the right way. Just use the older CHIRP
daily that I pointed out earlier to get the job done. I have submitted a
patch that will restore programming the UV-B5/B6 with CHIRP to a 2.5 KHz
resolution and still fix the issue the previous patch was intended to
address.
