Chrip programing CHRIP frequencies files	CHIRP is a free, open-source tool for programming your radio. It supports a large number of manufacturers and models, as well as provides a way to interface with multiple data sources and formats.
Note on programing radio using computer Disabling TDR (Dual Watch) helps prevent potential interference or issues during the programming process, especially when working with a programming software like CHIRP. It ensures that the radio is only focused on the programming process and not trying to monitor other frequencies simultaneously. This may apply to other models as well	Detailed Steps: Access Menu: Press the MENU button on the radio. Navigate to TDR Setting: Use the up/down arrows to scroll through the menu options until you find TDR, which is usually option 7 or 74. Set to OFF: Press the MENU button again to select the current setting, then use the up/down arrows to select “OFF”. Exit Menu: Press the EXIT/AB button to save the changes and exit the menu.
