Thanks John! I have and used it to get started. That page makes it sound so simple to program a radio but in actual practice there is much more to it.
To be clear, I am not registering a complaint here. I greatly appreciate the software and its many capabilities (that I would like to know how to use). It should be taken as a suggestion for an area for improvement from the new user perspective.
Cheers, Nick KK6TYY

Nick Nudell medicnick@gmail.com Monday, May 11, 2015 3:35 PM I had this same question but disagree with the manual suggestion in the case of Baeofung. Even they tell you CHIRP is preferred over their stuff right on the website!
As a new HAM operator all the terminology and technology focused language is not easy to absorb but you need to know all that Greek just get a basic radio setup so you can use it and gain experience. I think a good technical writer could really help the CHIRP documentation to be newbie friendly. That's not me :)
Anyways I had stumbled across a page somewhere on the interweb in the last week that described all the settings and I had meant to save it so I could use it as a reference but now I cannot find it. If anyone knows of the resource, please share!
Thank you, Nick KK6TYY
