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.
