[chirp_users] Google Chrome?

Well the Git CPS will work with my 878 but not my CS800D.
I use EdiitCP for the TYT radios, Dale says he is going to look
at the 878 when he gets a chance. He has a life and family so
that is understood. EditCP works VERY good, shows errors
the radio CP does not catch, forces you to fix them.
