[chirp_users] New user, and question on diagnosing new radio

[Tim Lavoie]

Thanks John.

Do you know if that's a technical limitation, or just means that there 
hasn't been anyone trying to work with this model yet? Are the protocols 
used to talk to the radios documented anywhere? Could always look at the 
source I suppose.  <grin>

For what it's worth, it turns out I don't have a digital repeater in my 
area yet anyway, but will be looking to set up for regular analog use.
