Chirp

   CHIRP is a free, open-source tool for programming your amateur radio. It    supports a large number of manufacturers and models,

   as well as provides a way to interface with multiple data sources and        
   formats. I had a fue problems when i install it on my MX Linux

   so I have done this guide to help you install chirp on your MX Linux              computer

   Step 1

   Then run MX Fix GPG Keys

   Step 2
