[arm-allstar] UV-5R Connection Points

[Ramon Gonzalez]

I have a baofeng UV-6 that is 2m and 70cm that sell for about $40. I did
open it and found to be similar inside to the uv-5r minus the display and
buttons. Less circuitry may make it not get so hot ? Ill soon modify it and
see how it works.

It is easier to work than the uv-5r and audio chip to get COS is in same
place.
