Since they are not getting paid, they can’t go out and buy every radio. I used Chirp on my Linux laptop and it works well enough.Īs far as the unsupported radios go, from what I’ve seen, the Chirp developers need access to a radio to build support for it.
#Chirp programming import software
But I can also say that some versions of RT Systems software I had for some older Yaesu HTs had some miserable copy protection on it and that was not a good user experience either. I’ll grant that Chirp is maybe not the easiest to use. That same cable will also program at least two other models of Yaesu mobiles. I also have another $16 Ebay cable for my FT-8900. With Chirp and a $11 cable from Ebay, I can program my Yaesu VX-5R and FT-60R.
$49 gets you ONE type of radio programmed with RT Systems. There is not even a question about this for me. If you’ve used both, is it worth spending $49 on the RT Systems programming kit if your radio is supported by CHIRP?
Have you used CHIRP or RT Systems programming software? What are your thoughts?
RT Systems makes commercial programming kits which include both software and a radio-specific cable.ĬHIRP supports a large number of radios including:į-11, UV-3R, UV-5R and variants, UV-6, UV-82/82L/82X, GT-5, UV-82C, UV-B5/B6, BF-666S/777S/888S, GT-1, BF-F8HP
But which one should you choose?ĬHIRP is free, open source software that’s used with a third-party programming cable. Two of the big names in radio programming are CHIRP and RT Systems.
