      I need to import profile from ver.291 to 251, is there a way?    I
noticed that Chirp will not read VIP profiles.   I am using Chirp for
ver 251 and VIP for version 291, but I cannot share profiles to make
all radios identical.
Also, is anyone working an option to upgrade 251 version firmware to 291?
Thank you.

I noticed that the Wouxon KG-UV3D is not on the list of supported rigs.

It's under the "Wouxun" section, not "Wouxon":

It's probably quite obvious, but maybe not - I've reactivated my
RadioReference subscription, and the transaction went smoothly. I can
sign onto the web service using FreeScan (popular freeware software for
the Uniden DMA Scanners), but Chirp just dies when I try.
I open a new template using 'NEW', then Click 'Radio', 'Query Data
Source', then 'RadioReference.com'. I then fill in the signin screen,
put in my user name, password and zip code, then hit 'OK' - and that's
where it dies. No screens, no message, nothing.
I'd like to put a blurb on the wiki on how to sign in, but so far, it's
a no-go...
What am I missing? I'm using the Sept 19 build.
TIA...Mike

I just did exactly this with zipcode 98335 and got a list of
frequencies for Pierce County, Washington, just as it should. What
zipcode did you use? Maybe nothing was returned, or something
unsupported was returned. Your debug log will tell.

Aha, now this makes sense Tom. This means that the import is actually more closely related to what Uniden's Home Patrol does - it extracts
data for a given zip code. The zip code in the signin form is very poorly worded - it should be much more explicit that this is the
zip code for which you want to download data.
This is completely different from what the web service does for the various scanners - and is more reason to document this a bit more fully.
Much thanks...Mike
