Description

Would it be possible to extend the allowed frequencies for UV-17Pro ? (I also use this driver for my UV-5RH Pro max)

File chirp/drivers/baofeng_uv17Pro.py - lines 275 :
extend VALID_BANDS to [ **_airband** , _vhf_range, _vhf2_range, _uhf_range, **_uhf2_range** ]

UV-17Pro has even 6 bands with FM 65-108MHz.
So you can add :
_fm_range = (65000000, 108000000)
and include it in VALID_BANDS

Looks the same as the Baofeng 5RM, have you tried selecting that instead of the UV-17Pro? If that's appropriate we can add a note on the support matrix to use that selection for the UV-5RH Pro max.
