<div>Mike,<br><br></div>I've not tried changing much using Chirp. I just got too busy.<br><br></div>The issue for me was getting Chirp connected to my radio. I can provide documentation when you are ready but the problem was a Ubuntu issue. Basically the user (me) did not have permission for a serial connection. Under Ubuntu USB appears to be a subset of the serial connection so if you do not have permission for a serial connection your USB connection fails. The symptom is clear and I have the screen snap for it. There is a simple command (terminal session) to establish permission and solve the problem.<br><div class="gmail_extra">

Yes, I will. I did technical writing for pay and will do it as a volunteer<br>
now-retired engineer. I have a Kenwood TM-D700 and TH-F6A and the the MPC<br>
FX and Chirp files for them. I am new to Chirp and so see it from a newbie<br>
perspective with all the confusion inherent in just starting.<br>
===============================<br><br>
Thanks vy much for the offer, Bruce - however please hold off for now. I<br>
have to set up a mailbox to keep your radio from being stolen (around<br>
here that's not an uncommon occurrence). Once<br>
I have that done, I'll email you off-list.<br><br>
Since you mentioned that you are a newbie to Chirp (me too) I wonder if<br>
you would discuss what you found difficult in using the software for the<br>
first time. That way as the Guide<br>
gets built, we can at least try to address at least some of these so<br>
that others don't run into the same issues.<br><br>
Here's one that had me stumped - I know you can use the stored<br>
configuration files to load certain freq ranges into the radio (if it<br>
supports them). But here's a question I never found the<br>
answer for - How can you append that data at the end of data you've<br>
already loaded, or perhaps put the configuration file in first, then the<br>
unloaded contents of your radio? Does it simply overlay the data,<br>
or push it down further in the editor?<br><br>
