[chirp_users] UV5r Names vs. freq

[Jim Pruitt]

Just be aware that field is limited in size.  I can't remember what the 
limit is but is 8 characters or less, if I remember right.  Chirp or the 
csv allow the name to be longer but anything over the limit (8?) is 
truncated in the display on the radio.

Good luck.
