[chirp_users] Daily Build
I have a BF-F8HP handheld.
I downloaded Chirp back last winter some time. The version I have works fine. Is there any good reason that I should update to the current version.....If it ain't broke don't fix it??
Thx
may give you more features and if you program someone elses radio for the newer firmware updates

Jonathan,
Probably not. There hasn't been much development activity that would directly affect Baofeng radios. The following FAQ 1.3 (lifted from the miklor.com website) is what I recommend.
1.3 How often should I update CHIRP New CHIRP users should always start with the latest CHIRP daily build available. Once you have a version of CHIRP working for your radio, you do not need to keep updating to the Latest Daily Build.
You only need to upgrade to the latest daily build when... 1. a newer version fixes a bug that affects you 2. a newer version adds a feature that you want 3. you get a new radio that requires a new build for support 4. you plan on trying to share CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) between radios.
Otherwise, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
