-  - To enter frequencies, you can either type them manually, or copy and paste from another CHIRP file.  Never upload someone else's CHIRP file directly though because the radios might have different firmware that can cause issues.  It's pretty easy to open a second CHIRP file in a second tab, and copy and paste the frequencies you want into your tab.

-===== Chirp Problems with Ubuntu =====
+===== Chirp 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:
+  - I have successfully installed Chirp-Next on Linux Mint without any issues following [[https://chirpmyradio.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux |these instructions]].
+  - And then added my username to the dialout user to be able to write to the radio:<code>

-The following packages have unmet dependencies:
- chirp-daily : Depends: python-libxslt1 which is a virtual package and is not provided by

-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 {{ howto:chirp:chirp-dep-20.04.tar.gz |dependencies}} manually
-  - 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>
