[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-6 -- Radio refused clone

[Aubrey Turner]

Jim,

I was able to read from the radio using the Baofeng software (the "UV-6 
UV-7 Series software" *)

* http://www.baofengradio.com/UploadFiles/20130521142814635.rar

I read the radio and stored the settings to a .DAT file using the 
Baofeng software.  I didn't attempt to program it yet, though, in case 
there was something you wanted me to try and it needed to stay in its 
current state.


Thanks,
Aubrey
