[chirp_users] Baofeng V6

[John LaMartina ☀]

Mike,
Not sure if this applies or not, but with some of the software, when it is unzipped, one of the files is a language file, ie. Chinese.ini, English.ini, etc.

Delete the Chinese.ini file and only leave the English.ini
This forces the program to open with the only .ini file it finds.

Worth a try...
