Thanks vy much for the offer, Bruce - however please hold off for now. I have to set up a mailbox to keep your radio from being stolen (around here that's not an uncommon occurrence). Once I have that done, I'll email you off-list.
Since you mentioned that you are a newbie to Chirp (me too) I wonder if you would discuss what you found difficult in using the software for the first time. That way as the Guide gets built, we can at least try to address at least some of these so that others don't run into the same issues.
Here's one that had me stumped - I know you can use the stored configuration files to load certain freq ranges into the radio (if it supports them). But here's a question I never found the answer for - How can you append that data at the end of data you've already loaded, or perhaps put the configuration file in first, then the unloaded contents of your radio? Does it simply overlay the data, or push it down further in the editor?
