-====== CHIRP ======
-[[https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home |CHIRP]] is a free, open-source tool for programming your amateur radio that supports a large number of radios.
-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.
-===== Basics =====
-  - Connect your radio to your computer and open CHIRP.
-  - Under ''Radio'', select ''Download From Radio'': \\ {{:howto:chirp1.png}}
-===== Chirp Problems with Ubuntu =====
-I just finished updating my laptop to the latest [[https://linuxmint.com/download.php |Linux Mint 20]] (based on Ubuntu 20.04) and once I tried re-installing Chirp, I got this error message:
-<code>
-The following packages have unmet dependencies:
- chirp-daily : Depends: python-libxslt1 which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package
-               Depends: python-gtk2 which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package
-               Depends: python-serial which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package
-               Depends: python-suds which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package
-</code>
-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'', to install the dependencies manually, and to try the install again.
-It seemed to have worked, although I'm not too happy about having installed dependencies manually.  I uploaded the dependencies on Sync in case the original link stops working.
