Perhaps the problem is you are TOO familiar with other programming methods. I am a novice to CHIRP; I read the programming info & the detailed field definitions and was merrily up and programming in a few minutes. There were a few minor hiccups understanding some of the idiosyncrasies of the system but nothing of any significance. I was quite happy with the learning experience and didn't find programming in CHIRP difficult at all.

I noted a similar experience in driving automobiles. When driving a new car for the first time, I find I am much more successful if I shift using the shift pattern of the new car, rather than the shift pattern of my old car.

Users unfamiliar with programming radios are encouraged to enable Hide Unused Fields mode in the View menu. Also, enabling Smart Tone Modes in the same location can be rather helpful for reducing confusion.

But I /am/ familiar with programming radios...that seems to be part of my problem...what I need is an explanation of these two options, as they apply to my radio...still reading.
