[chirp_users] chirp-daily-20160419-win32: Downloading from Icom T8A

[Rich Messeder]

Sure...and here is a reminder to those reading this thread...I am new to CHIRP...AND when I mention something like this, it may sound like a criticism, but all I think I am doing is sharing info. I do have some opinions already about CHIRP (and RTS), but they really need to wait until I have more experience.

So...
1. CHIRP did not get names, and that is an important bit of info for me...I thought that I read that the first thing to do with a "new" radio is download from it, then use that to develop further. I don't know how to add names, and don't know how to get CHIRP to download them. I've been tossing the download, but could save it and send it to someone...don't want to spam the list with uninteresting files.

2. RTS shows me 4 tabs in its program: call, limit, memories, VFO. I have saved them as csv files. They represent the configuration of the T8A, not just the memories: scan edges, scan groups, etc. 

I can send or post to Google drive and share files.

Other options? Just attach and send to list?
