Hey Glenn, I just tested running chirp directly from the git repository by installing the dependencies with "pip3 install -r requirements", then running "chirpwx.py" and orca was able to read everything to me. I'm not an expert on orca. I think the navigation worked, but it did seem to work fine.
Let me know if you'd like help running from the git repository.
