This last one was a significant bug. The VX5 has a bit for each memory called "visible". From the VX5, you can mask a memory, rendering it invisible. When chirp was creating a new memory, it was not setting this bit, so newly added memories were invisible! The original tester must have only tried editing existing memories where the "visible" bit was already set.
