Writing a CHIRP driver is fun and well suited to my skill set and my desires for a retirement hobby. Try it! Maintaining forward momentum on an ongoing Opensource project for a decade or more is a much harder job that is utterly beyond my capabilities. Dan Smith is the guy we need to thank. If you take a look at "my" driver, you will see that the code is somewhat different the the "typical" driver, but if you look a little deeper, you see that the underlying design, all of the infrastructure, and many of the actual lines of code derive from pre-existing CHIRP code. That doesn't even consider the entire development system, the info on the web site, and the helpful community, all built by Dan Smith.

I just installed CHIRP daily-20190412, and was able to program my Yaesu FT-65R with my standard list of repeaters from a CSV exported from a QYT-8900D, which was itself previously programmed with CHIRP.

Many thanks and mad props to Dan Clemmenson. I followed the developer list traffic on this with quite some interest, so I know Dan Clemmenson (and Dan Smith) put in a lot of effort to get this working. Much appreciated!

At one point last year, not too long before Dan started working on it, I signaled that I was going to dig into it....but like many before me, time and circumstance intervened, and I never fully engaged on it.
