[chirp_users] retevis rt-5rv
I have used Chirp with Baofeng and BTech radios. I may have the occasion to program some retevis rt-5rv radios. They look quite similar to the retevis rt-5r (with just the addition of a chrome screen over the speaker), and appear to be like the Baofeng UV-5r radios.
I assume that they are part of the same family as the Baofeng 5 series radios. Chirp does have an entry for the retevis rt-5r, but not for the retevis rt-5rV variant. I expect that they are functionally the same (for programming basic functionality e.g. channels, channel names etc.), but can anybody confirm that they can be programmed with the 5R selected?

From the Baofeng UV5R Variants list...
RT-5R/RT-5RV (Retevis)
http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Baofeng_UV5R_Variants
So just use Baofeng/UV-5R (the Retevis/RT-5R selection is just an alias to the UV-5R selection).
