My linux implementation have no GUI set up, and I just want to be able to read/write from/to my radios. I can certainly edit the file somewhere else, dump it in, and then run chirp.
Having said that, is there a reason why it cannot be edited on linux?

Nah, I'd have to disagree, Nigel. I don't need to create/edit radio config files every time I use chirp, often times I just need to update a radio with a config I already have.Â
It's 100% usable from the command line for me for the scenario I described. Having the ability to have a pocket-sized headless radio updater is completely useful for me. I can think of other applications, too - if you had a dozen (or a hundred) radios that needed the same config applied repeatedly then you could add a button to that raspberry pi that triggered the command line update script and update your radios as fast as you could unplug and plug them from the programming cable (without having to click through the GUI). They don't all have to be the same radio, either. My script cycles through my 4 different radio types automatically until it finds the right one to update. If I were using the GUI I would have to open 4 different files and click through all the update confirmation dialogs. With my headless updater I just plug in whatever radio I want updated and kick off the update command and then wait for it to finish.Â
So, I understand that a command line chirp would not be useful to some (maybe even most), but that doesn't mean it's not usable to others.Â
David, what application were you looking for?

I use a Raspberry Pi Zero W as a headless chirp updater (for my mobile radio). I keep my chirp files saved in a Dropbox folder with public URLs - this way I can edit from the GUI on my desktop and then fire up the Raspberry Pi in the car (using my phone's hotspot feature) so it can pull the latest chirp images from Dropbox (via wget) and update the radio using command line chirp. I'm still working on the README but here's my files for putting it all together:Â https://github.com/tycen/chirpihttps://github.com/tycen/chirpi
I just call the updater script from cron on reboot.
