George,

We're always happy to have help, even if it just ends up being one patch to solve the one problem you are having.

Lots of good steps here:

http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Developers http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersWin32Environment

Chirp is written in Python. It's easy to learn and work with, plus for making small changes you barely need to understand the language anyway. Lots of tutorials on the web, like this one: http://www.diveintopython.net/

Windows will be fine for development. Start with a code editor of your choice (lots of folks default to notepad++ or Atom these days), and get Mercurial:

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/Download#Windows

Then follow the instructions on this wiki page:

http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersProcess

Specifically, use the TortoiseHG tool to download ("clone") the chirp repository from http://d-rats.com/hg/chirp.hg

Lots of other guidance on the wiki, and we'd be happy to help you further on the developer mailing list.

73, -- Brian

George Here,

I would be happy to look at it. Forgive me, it has been a few years. I don't know where you have every thing/ what it is written in. Can you link me to a windows development site? I have ubunto/aix and some others but I have to turn them on to see what they are.

I am weak in C, pretty good in VB, others I have to feel my way through. What is the best way to start and I will dig in to it.

Er, um. ?Did anyone say the software is free? ?I've had no problems with it.?Heck I was the first guy that used it a "few" years ago when one of the?developers sent me a version to reset the center frequency on 60 meterson an FT-817ND when the FCC changed it. ?Then the program was rapidlyreleased so others could do it too.
