[chirp_users] Support for BTECH, Juentai & Luiton radios

[John B. Leonard Jr]

Are you using an external antenna?
If so, does it have a rounded bead at the end of the antenna?
If you use a different radio, does it exhibit the same problem?
An antenna moving thru the air will likely develop a static charge which 
will result in degraded audio.  The purpose of the rounded tip is to 
discharge this static.
Airplanes often have discharge wicks on the trailing edges to discharge 
static.
At our club meeting recently, we had someone complain of the same 
problem.  He changed his antenna to one that had a "coronal discharge" 
tip and it solved his audio problem.
