Chirp Software Download
Software (CHIRP) CHIRP software is written by and constantly updated by a team of dedicated Volunteers. The software is free, but donations are a great way of saying thank you for their efforts. CHIRP currently supports over 80 models of handhelds and mobile radios. For the software to recognize which radio and firmware you have, you MUST start. Chirp does a superb job for free software.Earlier 4-star review posted by G6IYD on 2016-05-07 I have assorted Baofeng radios, plus Yeasu. No real problems at all with programming memories etc. Had minor problems with my Yaesu FT-8900, but this was largely due to my not inputting the right cloning sequence. It does take a little getting.
CHIRP is a free, open-source tool for programming your amateur radio. It supports a large number of manufacturers and models, as well as provides a way to interface with multiple data sources and formats.
To get started:- Download CHIRP for your platform
- Check out the 'How_To_Get_Help' page, and the rest of the Documentation.
- Join the mailing list!
- Be sure to review the FAQ.
In case you ran into a problem with CHIRP:- Before you open a new ticket, you might want to consult the documentation. On the right side of this web page, you will find some links to the Wiki. It contains good input for many re-occuring issues.
- Also, please perform a search through all open and closed issues. Maybe someone else had the same problem before, and a solution is already available.
- If your problem is about how to use CHIRP with an already supported radio, then you should ask that question in the mailing list.
- Once you have looked through the Wiki and searched all open/closed issues, you can open a new ticket (did you ask on the mailing list?). There, you may file a bug report, request a new feature, or request the implementation of a new radio. Please be detailed and follow the instructions in 'How To Report Issues'.
