If you start a YT channel then we could either "join" or become patrons and you would make a bit of money to support the effort. I'm sure many of us would be prepared to pay something. I've thought about doing a conference talk about what is involved in adding a new radio to chirp so people c

I will probably get rocks and sticks thrown at me but I sure wish Chirp supported some of the common lower end DMR radios. That would be my only dream, other wise it does great for analog. Would be a dream to have a one stop fits all. Not Motorola and Hytera but the common low end DMR radios, Anyto

A couple of years ago (maybe four), I bought a Baofeng UV-XR (the "X" takes the place of "10") radio.  I have had absolutely no problems with it.  It is also water resistant, works perfectly with CHIRP, and now (unlike when I bought mine) has a USB charge capacity.  It was a 10 Watt rated model

Hi folks, and thanks to Jim and others for prior answers. I am looking for recommendations of a Baofeng 'waterproof' model that meets these criteria: * dual-band and TX capable (or unlockable) over a range similar to old-school UV-5R * mature CHIRP driver and/or minimal history of firmwar
