How about a pop-up window when Chirp opens on the PC, containing a
clickable link to the beginner's guide? Could save the authors a
lot of time answering basic questions. Or a Chirp, Help, User's
Guide on the main menu going to the same file. Just basic
connecting the different parts of the software package together in
places where users would expect to find documentation. That is the
absolute minimum for usability, IMO. <br>

Step 1 on the "Beginner's guide" is "download contents from the radio":

Any piece of radio programming software will require you to do this
first, unless you want to destroy all the settings currently in the
radio. CHIRP doesn't provide a File->New function for an uploadable
image, because unlike other software packages that are only designed
for one radio and thus know what sort of image to initialize, we'd have
to have a drop-down box with all 80+ models.
Thanks!
