Re: [chirp_users] chirp-daily-20160419-win32: why does it insist on certain defaults?
Yeah the Windows version is a bit qwerky. For example, clicking four times to change a dropdown box gets old. Works though.. just more work than it should be. I don't recall if there's an undo option, but perhaps that'd be better than keeping the setting of each field until you press enter (or escape as the case may be) On Apr 25, 2016 5:09 PM, "Jim Unroe" rock.unroe@gmail.com wrote:

Rich,
When using CHIRP with Windows, once you click the tone to choose the frequency that you want, you have to click on another cell or press the [Enter] key to actually make the selection permanent. Up until that point you can press [Escape] or click [Refresh] and nothing will have changed.
This above isn't necessary with Linux and I assume the same with Mac OS X.

I don't have any problems between Windows 10 and Chirp. It could be that some people don't read the instructions.

Could also be that the instructions are not that clear, and don't cover all the bases. I have yet to find in the instructions the so-valuable nuggets revealed here. 'Course, I'm about only half through all the docs I can find. Still, I was up and running with the RT Systems program in a few minutes on my Icom, and I have now spent hours on CHIRP, and not done yet.

Let's compare apples to apples here: how long did it take to edit a channel on the Icom with Chirp? Icom's are admittedly much more user friendly than the UV5R, and Chirp's UI was designed around Icom's programming paradigm. For example, like Chirp, Icoms actually have a Tone Mode setting, whereas the UV5R can only stores tones or no tones--there's no "mode" setting to turn them on and off.

I have never had a problem using CHIRP. Although I would like to print out the settings. I also have not had any problem with RT SYSTEMS software. I guess you have to be like the point of a pencil rather than the eraser.

I never have any issues. XP, 7 or 10. I just click the value I want and then click on the next setting I want to change.
If you don't want to do that, then use the properties dialog. Change the parameters how you want and then click the [OK] button. That is how you get to the extra settings like BCL anyway.
