[chirp_users] Beginner's Guide template

[Mike Agner]

I'm not sure if the formatting is going to make it thru the email 
software, but here's a first cut at a template for each radio. Don't 
worry about the encoding around the titles - that's all MediaWiki
formatting. Some of these titles we already have in the wiki - there are 
several that we don't. To me this is pretty comprehensive, but I'll let 
you guys/gals be the judge. Anything with an arrow
is a comment for additional data to be added.

==Getting Started==

* [[Beginner's Guide]]
* [[FAQ]]
* [http://chirp.danplanet.com/download/0.3.0/Model_Support.html Features

==Making the Connection==

* [[CableGuide]]

versions). This data is mostly available on the RadioReference wiki
* What is the original manufacturer cable number?
* Are there other known compatible cables (Yes/No)?
** If yes, please list Make and Model number:


==Prepare the Radio==

** If Yes, state the keystrokes and/or menu items needed to put the 
radio into clone mode:


==Using CHIRP==

* [[Editing the Template]]
------> The MemoryEditorColumns article would be linked from here
------> Are there any special keystrokes for special functions (like 
repeating data down a column)? If there are, list in this article

==Help Topics==
* [[How to Get Help]]
* [[How to Report Issues]]
* [[Rules for Loaning a Radio]]

If a topic doesn't apply because the radio doesn't support it, or CHIRP 
doesn't support it for this radio, it would be dropped. The template 
would be editable for this purpose.

Are there topics I missed? Now is the time to speak up.
