About CHIRP

CHIRP is a free, open-source tool for programming amateur radio transceivers. It supports a large number of manufacturers and models, allowing users to manage radio settings and memory channels from a computer.

CHIRP is a widely-used, free, and open-source software application for programming amateur radio transceivers. It provides a unified interface for managing the settings and memory channels of numerous radio models from various manufacturers, including BaoFeng, BTECH, Kenwood, and ICOM. This eliminates the need for users to learn multiple proprietary programming applications. The software runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It allows for easy data entry, import from sources like CSV files, and transfer of configurations to and from the radio. As a free tool, it does not have formal pricing plans or dedicated commercial support, relying instead on community-driven documentation and forums. It is a utility software and does not have its own integrations or marketplace.
