thanks dan! yep, i can tell at a glance that the daily build covers exactly the frequency range of my uv6x, but not near the freq range of my uv6d. does this mean i shouldn't use chirp with the uv6d until this has been resolved? or does it just mean that channels outside the 'official' range won't get transferred?
and i will indeed mention this matter to my vendor (a local shop with very friendly owners). in fact, their ebay ad and their website are both wrong as to the model variant of the uv6d they were selling. i was most pleasantly surprised to get a model with a much wider freq range (and yeah, i know that isn't the bonus-without-caveats some people think it is) than the one they were advertising.

how do i find out what freq range chirp thinks the uv6x currently has? the radio overview page doesn't seem to cover the daily builds.
Every build has this report in it:

Remember that in order for CHIRP to support a radio, it must be reverse-engineered. That means getting hands on devices in order to figure these things out. If something is not supported that you want, mention it to your vendor. At $50/radio they have the unique ability to provide a sample for development fairly easily, and some vendors (Import Communications) has done this in the past.
