[chirp_users] Truth or Fiction

[Larry Howell]

Or perhaps a "cockpit error".  Chirp is just a Python script so at the
worst can only corrupt a radio's configuration.  I'm a retired Embedded
Systems and Software Engineer with 40 years of experience.  Almost every
electronic device I've encountered in that time had a reset mechanism to
return the device to a default configuration.  I addition to those with a
vested interest, some may give up and refuse to use simple troubleshooting
techniques to resolve such issues.  A "factory rest" would probably have
"unbricked" the radio, but they chose to blame Chirp rather than solving
the actual problem.
