Ok well I guess all my marbles are still there. I hadn't used Chirp with the AT-588UV because I do most of my settings on a Mac. But in the
shack I have a PC running Win 7 and the OEM software installed. I have cables for the AT-588UV and the Wouxun and Baofeng plugged into a USB HUB so they can stay there. Otherwise you end up playing driver musical chairs in Win 7. Also have another set of cables for the Mac. all 4 cables are genuine PL2303 chipped. So I started playing around
with Chirp and the Anytone radios just recently. I like the Chirp software and what it does for the Chinese hand
held radios I have. And I wanted all 5 of my Chinese radios to be on the same page so I imported direct from the hand helds to the mobiles. There were some settings that weren't
relevant to the mobiles so those had to be edited. But otherwise it was an easy process. It was then when I found out I had a problem with CTCSS decode that left me scratching my head.

One of the many things that Chirp does not do when it comes to the Anytone. The population of the Tone and ToneSql columns when reading from the radio is just one of my peeves that forces me to keep using the OEM software when I enjoy using Chirp for my other radios.
So far so good. Just find it odd that I have to set that menu item using the OEM software to set the channel to CTCSS.
