I thought there was more references to the UVY class which currently has 
only UV5 as a member.  There might be UV5 references where they should 
be UVY.  The struct references use "uvy" as the selector so the grep 
should look for upper and lower case.

The UV5 system is still in the design stage so we are doing development 
using simulators.  More UV5 support is expected to arrive as needed. 
(The earlier class was UVX if interested.)

Will do, thanks for the update it has been awhile for me.
