However, when I open Chirp under the linux OS, there are a bunch of radios that don't show up.  For example, it doesn't list Radioddity as a manufacturer, the Wouxun KG-UV8D plus isn't available, nor is the TYT UV8000.

Hi Monte,

It sounds like you've accidentally installed CHIRP using you Linux
distro's software manager. These usually contain a version of CHIRP
that is over 5 years old.

Completely uninstall CHIRP and then install it using the the procedure
appropriate for your distro according the the "Running CHIRP Under
Linux" page.
