Actions
This is a list of "unadvertised" settings that CHIRP will honor from the config file. This allows some advanced tweaking of things that are not otherwise exposed in the GUI. Note that these are not a stable interface and are subject to change without notice.
The chirp.config file is an INI-style file, stored in %APPDATA%\CHIRP on Windows and ~/.chirp on macOS/Linux.
