[chirp_users] Fwd: Baofeng UV-B6 not supported?

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

Not unusual with chinese radios to find that a "new model" is just a rebadged something else.

You might find that calling it by another model name works.

So I tried first to download whatever is stored on the radio and I planned to then modify that (this is what I did with the UV-5Rs). However, I found that the UV-B6 is not in the drop-down list of models I can choose. The UV-B5 is listed but when I tried this setting it did not work.
