Ripped out 99% of the non-overlapping code or 99% of the UV5 code entirely?

What I meant was that if there were 100 lines of code that was not used for the UV-6, I have only removed 99 lines of it. I haven't removed the code for adjusting the band limits or the power-on messages yet. Sorry for the confusion.

I was trying to look over every settings to see if it could be utilized by the radio. I didn't want to remove it just because the OEM software didn't have it. If is still did something that the could be utilized by the user/radio, I wanted to leave it in.

If the UV-6 was going to be supported by a separate uv6.py driver, which was my goal, then I wanted to be sure it was completely sanitized from any unnecessary UV-5R, F-11, UV-82 and some left over BJ-UV-55 code in the structure or anywhere else.

What I was trying to avoid was to add it in and then find out it needed to be separate like the UV-55.
