[chirp_users] Chirp Works!!!

[Kurt]

Ummmmm,
  It works until it doesn't work.  Usually that's a change in an OS driver that is not in the purview of Chirp developers.  Or something in the firmware of the desired device.  It can be a Godsend alternative for pricey aftermarket software so one mustn't be too critical.  Of the list below, I believe only the GR is the one that doesn't have manufacturer provided free software.  For that one should be appreciative.Also, having one program that can deal with a myriad of units is nice so one doesn't have to have a mess of programs sitting on a computer.Kurt KC9LDH

THANKS Chirp developers! In the past few days, I have programmed 4 Baofeng UV5Rradios of various vintage, a Kenwood TH-F6, a Yaesu VX-8GR, and Wouxun KG-UV8Dand KG-UVD1P radios using Chirp latest daily build. (20150702). I found 4 generic programming cables in my programming box,all apparently Prolific chipped or clones, all worked. All the cable chips wereidentified as Prolific by Windows or by Linux. I have used Windows 7 on an Asus laptop, Windows 7 runningin Virtual Box on a MacBook Pro, Kubuntu running in Virtual Box on the MacBookPro, and Ubuntu 14.04 running on an HP Spirit 13 (I dumped Win 8) to do theprogramming. Chirp just worked on all of that hardware and different operatingsystems. I briefly tried to get Chirp going native on the MacBook Pro, butdidn’t spend the time as Chirp was working great on the Mac inVirtual Box. Things I learned: plug in the programming cable afterChirp is running; and you have to find the correct port that the programmingcable is on.  Chirp just works!!! THANKS! THANKS!! THANKS!!!
