[chirp_users] Cut and paste issue?

[Rich Messeder]

This is a key reply for me...I had originally thought that if CHIRP knew enough to turn the entry grey, it should know enough to reset the entry to empty. Why not? It would save the confusion that I have had, and that others seemingly have had.

But there is a comment below that reference data on the radio that is not accessible. This is puzzling to me. Does that mean that the data exists in the radio, but there is a flag also in the radio that says not to access that memory? Or recall it? Or tune to it? What is the point? Seems to me that if I delete a memory from the radio panel or from CHIRP, it ought to be gone. It's up to me to have a backup file if I want it...

Well, that was why I gave it a +1...I found (find) it confusing (now just distracting) to delete a memory and have it turn grey, not reset to "empty". If there is a requirement of the radio that makes the grey data necessary, so be it. I am not sure that I see this in effect on any of my radios...?
