[chirp_users] Jingtong JT-5988HP

[Shon Edwards]

Tried to do this, and tried using our old xp and win 7 machines, as well,
with no result.  Many errors.  I think I'm going to have to send this one
back.  Running out of time to get a refund through Amazon.  I appreciate
all your help!  73 de K6QT, Shon
