is there anywhere that gives the meaning of the columns in chirp? ie; if i do this by hand what goes in each column? is there a good help tutorial for this software?
it appears to be not very intuitive.
tnx dave k7da

There is a CHIRP guide on the Miklor.com website that attempts to explain each column and how the columns relate to one another.

Once you get it figured out, feel free to document your findings in the Chirp wiki. This is a great way to give back to Chirp if you're not a software developer or not in a position to donate financially.

CHIRP, like any other programming software, assumes the user knows what he wants to put into his radio. It's rather dangerous for you to be transmitting on amateur or commercial frequencies without knowing the details of what you have told your transceiver to do. That said, I just cooked up a description of these fields:

It won't teach you what to put in the columns. For that, you probably want an elmer or some other educational reference material. However, in support of understanding exactly how CHIRP interprets each, that guide should help.

Very nice.
After reading through it quickly, I would suggest these few changes/corrections.
- Although it is discussed in the Cross Mode section, the DTCS Rx Code column has been left out. - The first "None" in the Duplex section should be "(None)" - Also, "RX DTCS Code" in the Cross Mode section (two times), should be "DTCS Rx Code"

dan, tom, and others. thanks to all for the help. i tried with what i had found but its kind of like being handed a dictionary and told to speak a new language. i finally found the beginners guide and then it started to make sense.
i don't think i need an elmer. i have elmered too many and made too many hams. i just needed a quick language lesson. now things are working ok.
thanks dave k7da
ps what is the .chirp file for?

I think you can also find this presentation to be helpful https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1K4MDTZ2O4uV4kw10l3WukY_hrjr7kCAebdHX...
