[chirp_users] Using CHIRP with Kenwood TH-F6A

[Jeff]

I use Chirp with an F6A (and a couple Chinese radios) and unlike the others, the Kenwood operates in "live mode." Whether this is a feature or a handicap is debatable imo.

Well... I got a LOT farther than I was able to before.  Someone
else mentioned that the TH-F6A only operates in "live" mode, i.e.
you can't clone the radio, edit the configuration, and then
download it back to the radio.  That appears to be correct also.
That seems to me to be unfortunate, but it is perhaps a limitation
of the radio itself and not of CHIRP.
