[chirp_users] CHIRP ?

[K0LNY ??]

I would like to make a minor, but important correction to the below:
and then "cut and paste" that same spreadsheet into the template for any
radio which accepts CHIRP files. Chris Knowles,

We really never cut and paste, unless we are moving text around in a single 
document
"cut and paste" is old-school terminology that came from when we actually 
used scissors and cut out things and used glue to paste them somewhere.
The distinction is important in computers, because we usually mean copy and 
paste, and when copying files, you can get into trouble cutting and pasting, 
and also, if a file is write protected, "cut" will not be an option.
It seems like a trivial difference, but I have seen this become a problem 
when some people are getting files from their cloud space.

Because handheld and mobile radios presume the user is in motion and may
not have both hands available, it is helpful to program frequently used
frequencies of repeaters and other stations into the radio. One way to
do it and the hardest is manually. Usually the second hardest is using
the software and spreadsheet provided by the manufacturer. The easiest
is CHIRP. I've had three handhelds and one mobile radio which I use as
my base station. They are all programmed the same. If you know how to
use Lotus 1-2-3, Supercalc, or any other spreadsheet program, you can
learn to prepare one spreadsheet covering all of the frequencies you use
and then "cut and paste" that same spreadsheet into the template for any
radio which accepts CHIRP files. Chris Knowles, WD1E
