</span>0.4.1 is long out of date. Best to use the daily build, currently<br>
chirp-daily-20150513.<br>

<br>
</span>How did the failure manifest? The only issue I know of with umlauts is<br>
when used in a Windows user name (and subsequently the home directory<br>
path), Chirp fails to run. This is a tough one, because the Chirp code<br>
does all the right things for UTF-8 support. We're thinking it's a<br>
PyGTK issue (which Chirp depends on).<br>
<br>

<br>
Each radio has a specific character set that it will accept for<br>
frequency names. Many radios define this in the manual which Chirp<br>
developers can reference to implement identical support. If the<br>
character set is not printed in the manual, it's a bit of a guessing<br>
game which characters the radio will support. Sometimes we get it<br>
wrong. FWIW, I'm not aware of any radio that supports UTF-8 in the<br>
frequency names, but extended ASCII is relatively common. Here's the<br>
full list of what Chirp implements for each radio:<br>

<br>
If something here differs from what the radio supports, let us know.<br>
