Still didn't work. I then tried running as root (sudo chirpw). Still no joy.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>... Six hours later ...</div><div><br /></div><div>OK. It's now working. How? I haven't the faintest idea. I tried using CHIRP-Live but could get it to boot from a USB on any of my EUFI boxes so I burned a CD and that booted and I was able to download using both serial cables from my Yeasu's and my Baofengs. After adding the 2 new frequencies to my seven handhelds I tried it on three laptops, one LinuxLite and two Windows 10. All three worked just like they had been working for years. Go figure. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now as to my call sign. I don't have one ... yet. I am working to get my Technician Class license, hopefully this summer. In the meantime, all I use these radios for is officiating bicycle races from a motorcycle. We always use a commercial frequency provided by our sanctioning body of the local organizers radio rental service.</div><div><br /></div><div>Again, many thanks for helping me with this issue.</div><div><br /></div><div>Best,</div><div>Tom</div>
