[chirp_users] TYT TH-UVF1 dual Band Handheld-Expanded Frequency Access

[Dana Moen]

Hi David,

Saw your TYT-UVF1 query on the CHIRP list and thought I'd reply directly to
avoid getting into the whole part 90/unlocking/chinese/fire/ems/left socks
are better than right socks discussion. ;>

I'll try to get something a bit prettier with screen shots and such put
together when I can find the time. For now, maybe this will help you out.
Disperse as you see fit.
