<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt">I've cross-rig imported the .img file from say Baofeng to Anytone to Wouxun<br>to Yaesu without any harm. Sure there are some columns and program properties<br>that don't apply between radios. This is NOT cloning. As Tom says cloning is<br>copying the contents of the rig to another identical rig. So chirp doesn't clone<br>as far as I'm concerned but it handle cross brand importing of the .img file pretty<br>well as long as you use the IMPORT function. Don't just open the img file it must<br>be imported. I think I would still import even if I had ten identical radios. It's easy<br>enough to do. <br><div><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size:
