Description

The Baofeng UV6R supports a 7 character display field for the Memories->Name field, but your structure size is char(6). Would appreciate that field being redefined as char(7).

This issue is present in both the CHIRP-next and CHIRP-daily builds, so this isn't new.

Thanks!

This is a duplicate to #6891. However I dug out my UV-6R and confirmed that it definitely does not support 7 character channel names (which was the reason that CHIRP was coded to only support 6). But I do see that the latest Baofeng software that I could find (v1.35) does appear to support 7 character channel names so I will submit a patch that will allow support for 7 character channel names. The 7th character just won't show up on radios that only support 6, like mine.
