Hello Dan

As you suggested, I have filed two bug reports -- numbers 843 and 847.
My initial finding was that CHIRP is not reading the symbols from radio
memory properly. Further digging revealed that CHIRP is unable to put
symbols in the image downloaded from the radio. if I take a verbatim
image (i.e., no image) then I can insert the symbols properly,
indicating CHIRP is capable of handing symbols, but not on the image
read from the radio (or I may be completely mistaken).

Thanks again for a great piece of software.
