Does anyone have a very good relationship with the management of POWERWERX.COM?
I have tried to speak to them about CHIRP but they are under some prejudice that CHIRP bricks radios so that they are unrecoverable.
If someone knows the owner, I'd like to lobby for acceptance of this fine software with the object that they could persuade some companies to share programming data with the developers of CHIRP. 73

Powerwerx is a retail vendor that markets the RT Systems software and cable as part of their product line. It would not be in their best interest to recommend CHIRP. I'm sure it's strictly a business decision.

That's too bad because one the advantages of chirp is that you can take a group of unrelated radios and program them to the same frequencies.
This is invaluable in an emergency when time counts.

If you tell Powerwerx that you are using CHIRP they will tell you it will brick the radio.

Not necessarily true. I have recovered radios that look like they are bricked but are still able to communicate over basic communication if you have the right ability to monitor them.

I totally agree. I have several radios supported by CHIRP. For those, their factory software never touches my PC. It's CHIRP all the way.
John
BTW: if you haven't considered donating a small amount to the CHIRP fund, it's a great way to say thanks to a great group of volunteers that do this as a labor of love for the hobby.
