[chirp_users] Mac woe's

[Dave Nathanson]

Hi Peter,
CHIRP runs great on Mac! 
If CHIRP won’t launch & won't run, you may have neglected to install the Python runtime. CHIRP needs that. Even though Mac OS X includes Python built-in, the runtime has to be installed is because it includes PyGTK and some other libraries that Chirp requires, in addition to Python itself:

"Daily Builds" are the freshest, newest, latest, version of the CHIRP software. Often better than the "stable" version, because they include more features. 

Best,

Hi There, love your work, I am new to ham radio.
I have just purchased a TYT  TH-9800
I have managed to make chirp work via my windows PC but I would like to use it on my mac book air.
I have down loaded the latest version but it does not show the th-9800 in the drop down box.
I have been trying to understand what 'daily builds' are but am lost with that one.
I also saw that you say that there are some issues with Mac (surprise surprise)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am planning on getting several other radios soon, if this software is a usefull as it appears I will be more than happy to donate to assist you with your good work.

Many thanks
