[chirp_users] Can't connect to BTECH UV-25X2-Gen2

Sun Jul 16 10:12:05 PDT 2023

I tried under Windows 10, which reports the cable as being COM5.  I could
not connect to the radio.  Now I've tried on another laptop running
Ubuntu 22.04LTS.  Still no dice.  The "Help me" under port says "Your cable
appears to be on port: FT231X USB UART - FT231X USB UART (/dev/ttyUSB0)"

Maybe the cable is bad?
