UTM, or Universal Transverse Mercator, has been in wide use by the military for many years. Of late, it has been largely supplanted by the Military Grid Reference System, which retains the same grid system, but uses naming conventions that are much more user friendly. NATO uses both, but MGRS is far more prevalent, and will eventually completely replace UTM.<br>

UTM was invented by the military and has been adopted by ground search teams<br>
worldwide, based on the ability to go to a 1M square. Air and Sea SAR still<br>
use LAT LONG due to the larger scale operations and areas. I specifically<br>
am in the states.<br>

?Universal Transverse Mercator, which divides the entire earth into a grid.<br>
However, at least in parts of the United States, many SAR groups are<br>
shifting to using the United States National Grid (USNG) system, which is<br>
what the Federal Emergency Management Agency uses.<br>

I am possibly in wrong forum.<br>
<br>
I am a ham radio operator (call sign OK1RR) for 50 years, active<br>
primarily on CW (Morse Telegraphy). Now I should be a new owner of a<br>
Kenwood VHF/UHF Transceiver which I plan to use for talking to local<br>
friends, possibly using a repeater. Also, frequencies outside of Ham<br>
Radio bands are out of scope. Anyway, local roundups are quite marginal<br>
for me, my hobby is and will remain Morse Telegraphy and contacts to<br>
rare remote places (for hams who knows what 'country', 'DXCC' means - I<br>
have 345 DXCC countries confirmed).<br>
<br>
Anyway, Lat/Long is for me not a problem. I wanted to say that for ham<br>
radio operators in Europe is more convenient to use the WW Locator...<br>
<br>
My apologies to freaks of Search and Rescue services, military etc. I am<br>
not keen of these things and never will be due to lack of interest.<br>
<br>

After multiple failures with the Mac, I decides to use my work Windows<br>
laptop. Got everything setup and working. However when I upload from the<br>
radio the spread sheet is empty. The radio indicates it is "waiting" and<br>
beeps when it is done, but there is nothing on the spread sheet. I tried<br>
uploading to the radio and that did not work either. It appears if the data<br>
rate and/or the connection is not correct. What I am missing?<br>

You must "download" from the radio to CHIRP first.<br>
<br>
Also, if you programming cable has a counterfeit Prolific<br>
USB-to-Serial chip, then you must download, install and select the<br>
older Prolific v3.2.0.0 device driver because the one that is<br>
automatically installed by Windows is intentionally incompatible.<br>
