<div dir="ltr"><div>Or perhaps a "cockpit error". Chirp is just a Python script so at the worst can only corrupt a radio's configuration. I'm a retired Embedded Systems and Software Engineer with 40 years of experience. Almost every electronic device I've encountered in that time had a reset mechanism to return the device to a default configuration. I addition to those with a vested interest, some may give up and refuse to use simple troubleshooting techniques to resolve such issues. A "factory rest" would probably have "unbricked" the radio, but they chose to blame Chirp rather than solving the actual problem.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Larry AC8YE<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, May 22, 2019 at 7:09 AM John Kemker <<a href="mailto:kemkerj3@gmail.com">kemkerj3@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Most of the people I've heard this from have a vested interest in selling another brand of software.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, May 22, 2019 at 12:20 AM JOCK SOUTAR via chirp_users <<a href="mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com" target="_blank">chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">Never bricked any of mine.<br>
