| 3 | 7 | Dan Smith | If a CHIRP developer tells you to load a module to test, follow these instructions. |
| 4 | 1 | Dan Smith | |
| 5 | 5 | Dan Smith | 1. Launch CHIRP. Make sure you are running the latest CHIRP-next build. If not, upgrade and start over. |
| 6 | 2. Click **Help** in the menu bar and select **Load module from issue** |
||
| 7 | 8 | Dan Smith | 3. Key in the Issue number which has the test module attached (see below) and click the **[OK]** button |
| 8 | 4 | Dan Smith | 4. Select the driver module listed and click the **[OK]** button. If there are multiple modules attached, select the one the developer wants you to test, usually the latest/last one. |
| 9 | 6 | Dan Smith | Your CHIRP is now running with the test driver module loaded. |
| 10 | 5. Test and report back your results. Be sure to **include a debug log** per the [[How_To_Report_Issues|instructions here]]. |

| 12 | 1 | Dan Smith | **Note:** An externally loaded driver module like this does not permanently change your CHIRP installation in any way. Once you close CHIRP you will have to re-load the driver module in order to have the added fixes or features again. |
