Upgrading: You do NOT need to uninstall an existing version of CHIRP before installing a newer one. Just install the new one and it will replace the existing copy! However, be sure to quit CHIRP before installing the new version!
The CHIRP team recommends CHIRP-next unless you experience problems with your radio. If you do, please see How_To_Report_Issues.
Removing the old package and installing the new one worked, but there should be a more "efficient" method...
This worked:
jon@jon-notebook:~/Downloads$ pipx list
venvs are in /home/jon/.local/pipx/venvs
apps are exposed on your $PATH at /home/jon/.local/bin
