i know this radio is not supported yet, i have some info to help driver writers.

the "magic string" is: "\x50\xBB\xFF\x20\x14\x11\x22" and the firmware is: ["HDBF230"]

i have put these into the driver, but i am now stuck with this: -------------------------- [2016-08-08 14:12:07,872] chirp.ui.mainapp - DEBUG: User selected Baofeng UV-6R on port /dev/ttyUSB0 [2016-08-08 14:12:07,912] chirp.ui.clone - DEBUG: Clone thread started [2016-08-08 14:12:07,916] chirp.drivers.uv5r - INFO: Sending Magic: 000: 50 bb ff 20 14 11 22 00 P.....".
