 It is really easy to use and makes it extremely simple to copy frequencies between different radios (of different makes).  Not all radios are supported by CHIRP however, so it's a good idea to make sure CHIRP can program a specific radio before buying it.
+See the [[references/radioprogramming#frequencies |Radio Programming page]] to download VA7FI's Chirp list.
 ===== Windows Baofeng Drivers =====
 Baofeng radios can be a bit tricky to program with CHRIP the first time around because of the Windows Driver.  If you're trying to use CHIRP on Windows with a Baofeng radio, see [[howto/baofeng |this page]] first.

 A little Googling led me to [[https://dw1zws.com/how-to-install-chirp-on-ubuntu-20-04/ |this work around]], which is basically to:
   - point the repository to ''xenial'' instead of ''focal''
-  - install the dependencies manually
+  - install the {{ :howto:chirp-dep-20.04.tar.gz |dependencies}} manually
-  - try the install again.
+  - try the install again:<code>
+sudo aptitude install chirp-daily
+</code>
+  - Add your username to the dial out user otherwise you won't be able to write to the radio:<code>
+sudo usermod -aG dialout YOURUSERNAME</code>
-It seemed to have worked, although I'm not too happy about having installed dependencies manually.  I uploaded the dependencies on Sync (''SCARCS/Software/chirp-dep-20.04.zip'') in case the original link stops working.
