[chirp_users] Fw: Get the UV-B5 new firmware with 27 menu options natively supported on Chirp

[Richard Menedetter]

Hi List

Good news for the new Boafeng UV-B5.
Richard sent me a one line change, and it worked!!

I can now download from the UV-B5.
Uploading also seems to work, I just get a Radio NAK'd block at address 0x0f10.
That seems to be the test mode data, and that is no longer supported on my new UV-B5.

It would be great if this change could be included in the official source/daily/next release!
Also it would be great if the test mode data sending error could be suppressed for radios that do not support that any more.

All in all very good news!
Thanx Richard!

CU, Ricsi
