[chirp_users] Using CHIRP

[Richard Mogford]

I just did some work to put a list of repeaters into my Beofeng UV-5R.

It seems like a bit of a complicated process, especially to revise a list already in the radio.

The starting point was I had a list that was too long in the radio.

1. Downloaded the whole list from the radio.
2. Deleted all the rows in CHIRP.
3. Loaded the blank list back to the radio.
4. Imported a .CSV file from Repeaterbook.com. (I edited this in Excel to change what was in it a bit.)
5. Copied and pasted the imported repeater list from the "Generic CSV" tab to the "Baofeng UV-5R" tab.
6. Uploaded the new Baofeng list to the radio.

Is it necessary to go through all of this?

(I did read the manual.)
