I installed windows 7 in a VM and installed an older chirp, and that was the only Chirp that I got that would program that particular Baofeng. It was a friend's Baofeng, I forget the model, but its zero button is below the eight, and to switch between channel mode and frequency mode, I had to hold down a key while powering it on. The model was in the newer Chirp list, but it never worked with the newer chirp. I'm glad I kept my windows 7 VM installed. Glenn

Answering your questions: The system is running Ubuntu-mate 20.04 and I it is the first time I have tried to get it working. . I did not keep any of the error messages and don't want to try again - takes too long to clean up the mess The next thing I want to try is to set up a clean virtual machine and try installing it on that. Has anyone had any success with running the windows binary in wine? Cheers Frank VK5BF On 30/5/24 23:51, Martin Cooper via Users wrote: > Hi Frank, > > Are you using pipx, or pip?
