[chirp_users] New chirp-next build

[Mark Hartong]

Chris

Have you thought about writing a driver for the Kenwood TS-430S from scratch (or modifying one of the existing drivers) and contributing it?  

The change in the look is inevitable- in order to keep up with what software is available the CHIRP code had to be converted to Python 3 (Python 2.7 is end of life) and the old GUI Code PyGTK is not being supported for Python 3.

I want to respond with all due respect. I loaded your new "next". I 
did not like the way it looked. I went back and reloaded the 12/17/2022 
build. I preferred it. I desperately wish CHIRP supported the Kenwood 
TS-430S. But it doesn't. I have a BTECH UV-50X2. I know they sponsor 
you. That's great! But I wish you'd support the older models and the 
older hams.
