[chirp_users] Help with Sinorise SR-626U

[Peter]

Understood about which direction you took in your sleuthing.  But for 
radios that do carry an FCC ID label, FCCID.io (which is just a scraper 
of the FCC's actual pages) provides far more info than most 
manufacturer's sites.  Typically includes internal photos, block 
diagrams, detailed testing results, owner manuals, FCC type acceptance 
and/or certification notices and/or denials, etc.  But most here are 
likely already aware of this.

Anyway, I assume we are talking about this mfgr's page:

... and yeah to me that looks like an original BF-888.
