[chirp_users] Baofeng UV5R hack

I saw 60 meter in the stock config list, and thought, what the heck!
But I'm having a hard time finding a stock config option that will give me 
everything, and the ability to punch in the frequency.
The marine band wanted to put like 60 or more channels into my radio.
I haven't found my local law enforcement frequency yet either.
If I knew how to just open it all up, I'd just punch in the frequency and 
set it.

Yes and no. CHIRP will allow you to set the band limits as low a 1 MHz
and as high as 1000 MHz. With the radio set this way, you will be able
to key any STEP compatible frequency into the VFO from 1.0000 MHz to
999.9975 MHz. For frequencies below 100.0000 MHz you can to key in
100.000 and use the arrow keys to get to the frequency that you want.

But you will quickly discover that not much outside of the factory
band limits will work. It is just fun to key in CB channel 19 and show
your friends.
