I agree, if it works, just use it.  But I assumed the newer versions would have an occasional bug fix or new features, so I wanted to keep up with the latest.  Also, I'm new to chirp, so was concerned that something went wrong with the installation.  I had some problems installing, so I wasn't sure if all went as well as I thought.

Hi Don,
It is my opinion that if your radio is in the list, and the program works, then there is no reason to worry if you have the latest version.
If you have a version from two years ago, and your radio is in the list of radios, chances are that you will have no benefit from having a newer version of Chirp.
Now if your radio was recently added to the list, then I can understand you wanting the latest version.

Subject: [chirp_users] Which version do I really have?

I downloaded and installed the latest version, "chirp-daily-20201221.flatpak".  When I start chirp, it recommends that I visit the website and install the latest, which I thought I just did.

"About" reports the version as "20201121", and /usr/bin/chirpw is dated 11-21-2020.  Which version do I really have?

Don
