Baofeng has been messing with how TDR and TDR-AB works. On some of the
most recent firmware, TDR-AB tracks the display selected by the [A/B]
key and priority is no longer forced to the value selected in the
TDR-AB menu.

In some firmware versions the TDR-AB selections are only "A" and "B"
(there is no "OFF").

Baofeng has basically done an outstanding job of making the feature useless.
