[chirp_users] Chirp's new Alias feature.

[Curley Frazier]

Love Chirp! Thanks for all you do. One question please? In my Baofung
UV-5R+ if I open menu to look at settings go tell a freind what PL tone a
repeater had on a stored frequency, or to to program another radio in the
field, it shows blank.....? Can this be edited to show each repeaters PL?
