[chirp_users] Patch for Bug #6381

If it falls into one of the families of radios covered by EditCP, you might
try that, beyond that
you are pretty much stuck with the CPS the goes with the radio. Here is the
URL for EditCP:
https://www.farnsworth.org/dale/codeplug/editcp/

Beware of the Baofeng DMR radios make sure that they do true tier II
signalling. There were
issues with them transmitting on both time slots and I understand that they
were banned from
DMR repeaters due to jamming the other timeslot. They may have fixed it by
now, but I have
not heard anyone with them on the air in the places I frequent. If they
have fixed it then there
should be no issues. Just be sure and check.

I really like DMR but having to drag a windows box around to do CP changes
is a drag, at least
most of the CPS will run in a VM so I run Windows in a VM on my Linux boxen
keeping a tight
rope on what goes in and out.
