THANKS Mark - nice work!!  Worked perfectly.

[Mark Leigh <mark.leigh at shaw.ca>] Added methods and UI to query/import RadioRef.com for Canada. Fixes #8021 My first foray into Python, so forgive anything that's not optimal.

A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily)
follows:

Changes for Build #640
[Dan Smith <dsmith at danplanet.com>] Style fix related to patch for #8565

[Jim Unroe <rock.unroe at gmail.com>] [H777] Retevis H777 Plus

This patch adds support for the Retevis H777 Plus (FRS/PMR) models with fixed antennas.

Related to #8565

[Jim Unroe <rock.unroe at gmail.com>] [H777] Rework Serial Timeout

The previous patch has broken uploads for the classic BF-888s radios and newer Retevis H777 models. The constanstant switching of the timeout to .5 before each block is sent and back to .25 after each block is sent on a Windows computer creates "noise" that causes the apparently "faster"
radios to mis the "ack" returned by the radio which results in the upload failing.

This patch resolves the issue by setting the serial timeout to .5 and leaving it remain that way for all serial activity.

fixes #8197

[Jim Unroe <rock.unroe at gmail.com>] [RT22] Remove FRS and PMR446 Frequency Tables

This driver was coded in a way that erasing a memory row would preselect the appropriate FRS or PMR446 frequency, bandwidth and transmit power level. This would similar to how the OEM programming software functions (actually the OEM software has the frequencies, bandwidth and power level settings fixed so that they cannot be edited).

While getting ready to submit test images for these models, I rediscovered that the CHIRP test suite regards this as a memory that can't be erased and reports an error.

This patch removes the frequency tables and other code related to this so that the test suite will pass when tested with the related "image" files.
