[chirp_users] purchase of a leixon vv-898s - memories

[Brian Dickman]

Hey Neil,

Try downloading using the Jetstream JT-270mh profile. That includes support
for the dual-bank a/b system that the newer firmware 898 uses.

I think we need to add some extra aliases around this, because it's very
non-obvious which profile you need to use. If nothing else, there are bits
in the download that indicate firmware version and we could provide a check
and warning message when the wrong one is used on this series of radios.
