[chirp_users] New UV5-RTP not recognized with BF-F8HP model selection

Jim,

Many thanks for the quick response. Both radios have exactly the same
menu structure and report "high/med/low" power settings. I'll try to
measure the power when I get time. Serial numbers are also very close,
but as noted one reports BFB325 and one BFB323 when holding 3 pressed
when turning on.

I downloaded from the BFB323 radio, set a frequency, CTCSS t/r, shift,
offset, and power level "low".

After uploading to the radio frequency and CTCSS tones and mode are
set correctly, but shift and offset are "off" and "0", respectively.
Power setting is reported as "Mid". In the display both "+" and "-"
for shift are lit. Trying to change the offset to non-zero does not
work.

It seems it is not entirely a UV5-R, but I don't know what it is :)

Cheers,

Hans SM7TLH/KG6POK
