[chirp_users] Baojie and Step problems [Found workaround]

[Andreu Bassols Alcón]

Hi again,

I've found a workaround and I've programmed the Baojie BJ318 properly with
frecuencies multiples of 6.25 or 12.5:

Edited line 99 of chirp_common.py found at
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp

COMMON_TUNING_STEPS = [5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0, 50.0, 100.0]

Add 6.25 and 12.5:

COMMON_TUNING_STEPS = [5.0, 6.25, 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0, 50.0,
100.0]

I think program uses the default values on this radio, and default values
doesn't include 6.25 nor 12.5 steps.

Regards,
