[chirp_users] Baofeng UV5R Flashing

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

Don't ever use an image from another radio.
Download an original image (as it came from the manufacturer) from every radio and work with those.
You can easily copy and paste between these images.
Always upload the correct image to the correct radio.
