TG name too long

Using ver 0.2.923.1 and imported BM talk groups (contacts) from Anytone CSV download. Many of the TG names are more than 13 characters and each long name gives an error when I try to write to the radio (GD-88). Can use the names in channels but gives the error when writing to the radio. If I shorten the name to 13 chars then it's ok until it hits the next long name, then another error.

The radio/firmware is limited to 10 characters for all names (contacts, rx groups, scan lists, zones and channel names) so they will need to be shortened to 10 characters for it to successfully upload to the radio.

The imports have been fixed for the next update, where it will not allow importing of names longer than 10 characters and will automatically truncate them.
