And...................Chirp didn't help with the F9 that I had. Maybe was a bad rig.

Chirp came up and "programmed" the F9 but couldn't get the repeaters to work.

Others may have a different experience.

Works fine with the F8HP I got and easily programmed it with Chirp. Cost was $6.00

more than the F9. Now if Chirp could work with an Alinco DJ-296 that

would be peachy keen for me. The DJ-596 is A-OK but not the 296. Kurt KC9LDH
