CHIRP runs great on Mac!<br>
If CHIRP won’t launch & won't run, you may have neglected to install the Python runtime. CHIRP needs that. Even though Mac OS X includes Python built-in, the runtime has to be installed is because it includes PyGTK and some other libraries that Chirp requires, in addition to Python itself:<br>

"Daily Builds" are the freshest, newest, latest, version of the CHIRP software. Often better than the "stable" version, because they include more features.<br>

Hi There, love your work, I am new to ham radio.<br>
I have just purchased a TYT TH-9800<br>
I have managed to make chirp work via my windows PC but I would like to use it on my mac book air.<br>
I have down loaded the latest version but it does not show the th-9800 in the drop down box.<br>
I have been trying to understand what 'daily builds' are but am lost with that one.<br>
I also saw that you say that there are some issues with Mac (surprise surprise)<br>
<br>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
I am planning on getting several other radios soon, if this software is a usefull as it appears I will be more than happy to donate to assist you with your good work.<br>
<br>
Many thanks<br>
