1. Also, please perform a search through all open and closed issues. Maybe someone else had the same problem before, and a solution is already available.

1. If your problem is about how to use CHIRP with an already supported radio, then you should ask that question in the [mailing list](http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users).

1. Once you have looked through the Wiki and searched all open/closed issues, you can open a new ticket (did you ask on the mailing list?). There, you may file a bug report, request a new feature, or request the implementation of a new radio. Please be detailed and follow the instructions in "[[How To Report Issues]]".
