Download CHIRP


Development of CHIRP is done in my spare time and is offered as open-source software, free of charge. If you like CHIRP, please consider contributing a small donation to help support the costs of development and hardware:



Stable release

Version 0.1.12 was released on 13-September-2011. Click here for the release test report, which shows what was tested for each model (and thus what is expected to work).

Note: Version 0.1.12 was released quite a while ago. There have been a number of fixes and improvements since then. While it may be more buggy, you might want to check the latest daily build (see below) before reporting an issue.

Windows

Note that only Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 are supported

Linux

Most modern distributions should have almost everything required to run chirp. Make sure you have python-serial and python-libxml2 packages installed.

For more information about using CHIRP under Linux, see the Running Under Linux page

Mac OS

MacOS users must install the KK7DS Python runtime before the application will execute. This only needs to be installed once.

Development builds

Daily builds are generated automatically as changes are put into the source code repository. Although they should be handled with care and not considered stable, they do contain the latest fixes, features, and model support. If you wish to try your luck with them, they can be downloaded from the daily repository
