I have installed CHIRP on my Ubuntu 14.04LTS laptop using the PPA method as described here - <A HREF="http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download">http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download</A><BR>
<BR>
I kept getting "radio refused to send block xxx" errors, although it worked fine using the Windows under VirtualBox. After reading the bug reports, I tried using the "manual install" found here - <A HREF="http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Running_Under_Linux">http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Running_Under_Linux</A><BR>
<BR>
That worked perfectly. Looking at the About page, I see that the PPA version installed is 0.4.1 while the source version is daily-20160116. I'm just curious as to why the PPA version is not (or does not appear to be) up to date? Thanks.<BR>
