I am trying to work with a user to get his radio supported by CHIRP. The model (Baofeng UV-6R) is a supported model, but it is a different firmware version and it behaves a little different in the cloning process.

I can send him modified uv6r.py files that he can use the "Load module" feature to test the changes. The issue is that this driver depends on the baofeng_common.py driver for the cloning process itself. I can modify this driver and send it to him, but even after loading it using the "Load module" feature, the original driver continues to be used.

My question is what do I have to do to be able to allow this user to use a modified baofeng_common.py driver?

Thanks, Jim KC9HI
