[chirp_users] Programming Yaesu Radios using CHIRP

[Chuck Hast]

Also do not forget it runs on the major platforms, i.e. It started out on
Linux and is of course available for
Windows (as you have presented) and Mac. I believe it will also run under
BSD.

A lot of us like to run it on a Raspberry Pi.
