C'mon, folks. Lets get real.
In a life or death scenario, I'll use any radio, on any frequency, to
summon aid. Afterward we can deal with legal.
The medical certifications I held as a field qualified member of the
Southern Arizona Rescue Association are not current, but in a life or death
situation, I'll still render first aid, CPR, rescue breathing, or anything
else I was recently certified to perform, regardless of my legal
liability. I would not act recklessly, and would act within my training.
Yes, I could be sued; no, I wouldn't be covered by the Good Samaritan law.
But if I could save a limb or a life, I would provide aid. Saving a life is
more important than laws.
Just my personal belief. Not a reflection on SARA training or philosophy,
nor on FCC regulations.

I used it every day on a Radio Shack/Tandy Model III running TRS-Dos.
It worked very well.
If I remember right, Lotus bought VisiCalc, then tried to sue everyone
with a spreadsheet with a "look and feel" like it.

I don't think Excel was better than other spreadsheets - Borland
Quattro was nicer and available in text mode as well as Windows.
Microsoft just bought out (or out advertised) all the
competition...seemed to me.

Colleagues: Our community is interested in three different things, and I
feel we need to do a better job of separating them, because different folks
have different situations.
Rules: we are not all US Hams. Some are not US and some are not Hams. the
rules and regulations differ by jurisdiction and depend on both the
hardware you are using and the licences you hold. It may (or may not) be
useful to comment on the rules, but when you do, please make sure you
mention which jurisdiction, licence, and hardware.
Radio capabilities: Each radio has its own hardware capabilities. Some of
these capabilities interact with the rules in some jurisdictions, and
sometimes rules change. There is no reason we cannot discuss hardware
capabilities independently of the rules, since those capabilities are still
usable in some jurisdictions and/or to some users under some circumstances.
CHIRP capabilities: Hey, this is the CHIRP user group! We can and should
discuss any CHIRP capabilities that may be usable by some CHIRP users in
some situations. It is the responsibility of each user to understand the
governing rules. It is not the responsibility of the CHIRP software or the
CHIRP user community to attempt to enforce these rules, especially since
the rules you are trying to enforce may not be applicable to the users you
are addressing. A brief sentence to note that a particular capability may
violate a rule in a particular situation may be acceptable if it becomes
obvious that the user might need the reminder.
(Thanks for your attention. I will get down off of my soapbox now.)

Visicalc was first. It was the killer app for use of the PC in the office.
There is no need to pay for a fancy spreadheet to use CHIRP. They are
bloated and complicated. I am a free software fanatic, so I use Gnumeric.
It has all the capabilities you need for use with CHIRP (and pretty much
anything else). I'm a Linux user. Unfortunately for Windows user, new
versions do not run on Windows.
If I were forced to use Windows or some other strange platform, I would use
Google Sheets.

Point well taken.? We are not a group of enforcers; but we are a group
of educators.? We should neither encourage nor discourage behavior.? But
we should take the opportunity to educate.? Every radio operator,
regardless of jurisdiction, should know the rules and make a conscious
choice as to whether or not to obey them, understanding that actions
have consequences.? Chris, N1CAK

Good news, Dan - for Windows users that is.
Gnumeric is now available for Windows 10.
https://yepdownload.com/gnumeric
If you want some software that's fast, I recommend Gnumeric and Abiword.
Very small size programs but do what most people need to do, and they work
very fast.
Hmmm, just like CHIRP. Fast and useful.

For all Windows users I would recommend Calc from LibreOffice.? It is
free and part of a suite of applications more versatile than Windows
Office.? Chris, N1CAK

Very good point, My situation, I work on film sets, sometimes internationally. In my particular case, I need to monitor different bands while being able to transmit on others, carrying multiple radios in Belize in the summer is not an ideal scenario. I perceived the mail list to be a last resort after endless googling, I appreciate the links people sent from google, I had already been there. Those who responded directly, I am most appreciative, the baofeng can do what I need it to, unless the FCC sends someone down to Mayan ruins in the jungle with equipment to find me and my crew, it could be an interesting prosecution.

Radio capabilities: Each radio has its own hardware capabilities. Some of these capabilities interact with the rules in some jurisdictions, and sometimes rules change. There is no reason we cannot discuss hardware capabilities independently of the rules, since those capabilities are still usable in some jurisdictions and/or to some users under some circumstances.
CHIRP capabilities: Hey, this is the CHIRP user group! We can and should discuss any CHIRP capabilities that may be usable by some CHIRP users in some situations. It is the responsibility of each user to understand the governing rules. It is not the responsibility of the CHIRP software or the CHIRP user community to attempt to enforce these rules, especially since the rules you are trying to enforce may not be applicable to the users you are addressing. A brief sentence to note that a particular capability may violate a rule in a particular situation may be acceptable if it becomes obvious that the user might need the reminder.

No, they did something even more anti-competitive, they gave it away
free with Windows (for a while).
