UV-5R and UV-5RX3 get VFO offsets wrong (entering 999.999 results in 99.99 when saved/uploaded)

Description

I have a UV-5R and a UV-5RX3. If I set the VFO A or VFO B offset to @999.999000@ in CHIRP and upload the image to either radio, the radio interprets the values as @099.990@ (observable in each radio under menu item 26). If I save the image from CHIRP, close it, and then reopen it in CHIRP, I see @99.990000@ as the value in CHIRP.

I can set the value manually in either radio to @999.999@ (which is useful if you want to configure the radio to prohibit transmission in VFO mode). I'm pretty sure that if I set it manually in the radio and then read the configuration from the radio using CHIRP it will also show up as @99.990000@ in CHIRP.

Other values have even weirder results (e.g., @666.666@, @555.555@, @444.444@, etc.). Sometimes entering one value (e.g., @300@), saving the file, then entering a prior value (e.g., @444.444@) will result in a different value than what was saved with @444.444@ before. It seems non-deterministic.

It sounds like a similar symptom to #4635 (but that's for a different radio/code base).
