How do I get CHIRP to ignore the out-of-range value or change it to a valid one?
Make the fourth entry in the list "Off", I'd say:
options = ["Off", "Welcome", "V bat", "Off"]

Apparently the Powerwerx KG-UV6X doesn't have a PONMSG menu in the radio or the setting their programming software. That is probably why the stuff the byte with 0xFF.
Anyway, if you set the value to 3 and upload it to my KG-UV-6D, then the Power-on Message is the battery voltage. So would it be better to say:
options = ["Off", "Welcome", "V bat", "V bat"]
I suppose another solution would be if PONMSG is equal to 0x99, assume that the radio is the X variant and skip the Power-on Message setting. But I suppose I should find out if the radio honors this setting or not. It could be it does even though the setting is absent in the radio and OEM software.
