[chirp_users] Options not in CHIRP (UV-5R series)

[Julian Gough]

Does anybody know if it is likely to be possible to program options not
available through the interface?

I have a pair of Baofeng GT-3TP (basically the UV-5R). I want to run 9600
baud packet over them and have found that in the RDA1846 chip:
http://www.uv3r.com/images/Schematic-Baofeng-UV5R.pdf
there is an option to turn off filtering and pre/de-emphasis. Set register
58 to 023B

My current option for doing this is to physically hack into the serial bus,
insert a switching chip and use a raspberry pi to switch control away from
the radio's onboard microcontroller chip to the raspberry pi serial GPIOs,
program this option into the RDA1846 and then switch back control to the
radio. Pretty heavy work for something that might be possible in software
by programming the onboard controller (using CHIRP).

Any guidance very much appreciated.
