[chirp_users] Which radio?

[Chuck Hast]

I ordered it from Amazon last night. Looking forward to getting on some of
the
220 machines in my area.

I looked at the comments on the radio, there was good mehh and not so good,
but the good was very good so going to take my chance.

They all said it was Chirp programmable, that is very good...
