I have never taken the time to thank the people who make CHIRP possible, maintain it, answer my questions, etc. and this seemed like a good time to say that you are appreciated, that you have blessed me, you have been patient with my ignorance, you have given me a product that I couldn't have afforded otherwise, and you have made possible for me something I couldn't have done on my own. Thank you very much. You are wonderful!

    Y'know, I have heard more than 1 ham claim that chirp is "dangerous" and/or junk, but when pressed, they all either heard it from someone else or they expect the same sort of experience you get when you pay for an integrated solution, like RT Systems.  Chirp works. You have to pay attention to the details like proper cable selection, but it works. It's not an out- of- the box solution. It's more in the spirit of ham radio.

      The cheap cable are not a real problem as long as you use the older driver. Works fine for me

Some of the USB to serial cables are defective clones and have cost me a bundle trying to either find or build a good one.  Never had an issue with Chirp.  Thank you for the software.


        There are two ways to go with this:

        - Buy one good FTDI to DE9 cable and then buy only serial cables for each radio

        - Or switch to Linux where there are no driver issues
