[chirp_users] New Tech with Boafeng UV-5R and CHIRP software

[Christy Cash]

MikeyJay,

Both suggestions worked well!

Updated my driver, changed ports, confirmed, re-booted, and all seems to be
working well...for now.  : ).  Hope it does the same next time I hook it up!

Appreciate your time,
Christy KE0CJO
