Dan,
I fell in love with ham radio at 10. Life got in the way. At 68 I got my Technician, General, and Extra tickets plus VE certification in 6 months. I couldn't have done it without your help. And I couldn't continue to enjoy my pursuit at 75 without you perseverance. Don't let the malcontents get you down. And Thank You.
73, Chris, WD1E

This is the Fake News, and it will be your last time asserting it on the infrastructure I pay for you to use for free. I've been trying to get you to file a bug so I can spend my evening examining your file and explaining how you've broken the format so you can fix it. But you just want to complain. While waiting for you to do that so I can help you, I've also spent my dinner time implementing a best-effort function to try to parse out the format that LibreOffice/OpenOffice puts on the clipboard to let you copy/paste multiple memories from that application directly into chirp. Just for you. That change will be in tomorrow's build, and yet while writing and debugging that, I'm fielding accusations and complaints from you on this list. Sometimes I feel like a masochist.
The truth is, Chirp does not read the fields with a SR so that is not fake. Anyone can run J A W S and try it with Chirp and without the use of a mouse, and they will get nowhere. Yet, I can open any database program and use it with my SR. I have access to three different SRs. If people cared about a c c e s s i b i l i t y, they would test Chirp with a SR.
As I have said many times before, this is a _fundamental_ lack of support in the windowing toolkit that CHIRP uses to be cross-platform. It is not something CHIRP can or will address. You may feel free to complain to WxWidgets about this. I'm sorry it doesn't work with a screenreader like JAWS for better accessibility, but you should feel free to learn how to fix the underlying issue, or of course, use another tool.
Complaining about WxWidgets not supporting screenreaders for the Grid widget is officially offtopic for this list. I really hate "code of conduct" documents, but we clearly need one for this list. I'll work on that, because clearly this decade-old FAQ entry is not enough:
