[chirp_users] UV-9R Plus?

Hello, I'm confused about the status of support for the UV-9R Plus. It's not listed as supported, but I've seen people discussing programming it anyway. What I was unable to figure out is which driver they are using? Does anyone know if this model has pitfalls for use with CHIRP? Thanks- _

Because handheld and mobile radios presume the user is in motion and may not have both hands available, it is helpful to program frequently used frequencies of repeaters and other stations into the radio.  One way to do it and the hardest is manually.  Usually the second hardest is using the so

I don't understand WHY or HOW to use CHIRP. What will it do for me, a new ham? How do I combine or integrate it to my ham operations? How often does one NEED to employ it? It appears important, but can I just forget about it? Are there any other options available? V/R Ed, AD9AK __
