Next TUESDAY, Jan. 19th, at 7:30pm Chris K0SWE is giving an RMHAM Tech Talk on Radio programming with CHIRP.CHIRP is an open source program for programming radios from most manufacturers. The talk will cover setting channels as well as other radio properties using Baofeng, Kenwood and Yaesu radios as examples.

This could be a good way of making sure your radio has not only your local ARES group’s channels programmed, but also neighboring districts which you may need to interoperate with.
