CHIRP

Using a new (ought to be brand new ...) ver HDBF230.
This radio/firmware takes 7 characters in 'name' field, chirp is only allowing only 6. This has an oddment that on pre-programmed channels (say from Baofeng's equivalent software) the 7th character is retained by the radio and never overwritten/cleared. This leads to some odd names now in my set and may need me to investigate further to see where that coruption comes from.
The ower-on message field (1) hasn't worked, I think because chip had allowed a "/" but the radio says no. Again, I need to play further to prove (it may be that this field isn't really displayable).
