The CHIRP team recommends CHIRP-next unless you experience problems with your radio. Just install the new one and it will replace the existing copy! However, be sure to quit CHIRP before installing the new version! Upgrading: You do NOT need to uninstall an existing version of CHIRP before installing a newer one. You should always be on the latest build available. Thus, you do not need to worry about finding a stable version to run. We don't put experimental things into CHIRP before they are ready, except where specifically called out with a warning. Thus, CHIRP is versioned by the date on which it was created, which makes it easy to determine if you have an older build.

Any time we make a change to CHIRP, a build is created for it the next day. If you like CHIRP, please consider contributing a small donation:ĬHIRP is distributed as a series of automatically-generated builds.

Please respect this.Development of CHIRP is an all-volunteer effort and is offered as open-source software, free of charge.

We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola). The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate just purchase it.įor M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value.
