You need to reboot *after* updating snap, in case the update changes the 
location of the executable.

Well the instructions I gave a link to earlier, on installing Chirp, stated 
to reboot before updating snap, so I did that, that should be as good as 
logging out and back in.

It sounds like a PATH issue, the directory you installed snap into must not 
be in your path, that defines where Linux looks for executables.

I wonder if logging out and back in would cause your updated PATH to be 
used? I'm certain you can update PATH without logging out and back in, but 
the command eludes needs at the moment.

Thanks for the quick reply.  Yes, I do have the right model, but I don’t know 
whether there is an actual download, or whether the sw only reports an error

I have a RPi 4 with Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) installed.

I was able to 

sudo pip install wxPython

and it successfully installed wxPython 4.1.1. 4.2.0 failed, but 4.1.1

Chirp ran just fine after that.

I don’t know why Paul wants to change the order of columns, but generally, I 
want to change the order of columns because I find some columns more useful to

I believe it is possible I have an erroneous configuration in my CHIRP Settings 
page (that have more choices than the Menu pages on the radios) that is causing 
this problem.  However, I again performed a factory reset of both radios, I 
switched them to Frequency Mode and manually entered 444.875 Mhz, an R-DCS 
value of OFF, an R-CTCS value of OFF, a T-CTCS value of 100.0HZ, a SFT-D value 
of + and an OFFSET value of 5.000 and the radios still do not work with the 
repeater in that configuration.  There are other selections in the Settings tab 
of CHIRP that do not get erased/replaced during a Reset and we do use some 
custom settings in there, but I have a feeling they are not relevant to this 
problem.  If there are no other ideas, then this is probably not a CHIRP 
problem and I will take this off the CHIRP Users site and figure out how to 
find a local expert to solicit some help from.  Thank you again for your time.

I forgot to mention that you cannot monitor yourself talking through a
repeater with another radio close to you. The transmitting radio's
