Install both apps before attempting to read or write a radio.

Whether you're making a quick channel change in the field, loading a saved image, importing repeaters, or managing several radio configurations, PocketCHIRP puts useful CHIRP tools in your pocket.

RADIO PROGRAMMING
• Read supported radios over USB or Bluetooth
• View and edit radio memories

MEMORY EDITING
Depending on the radio and CHIRP driver, you can edit settings such as:

• Duplex and offset
• CTCSS and DCS tones

• Banks, zones, and radio-specific options

PocketCHIRP adapts to the capabilities of each supported radio, so available settings vary by model and driver.

FILES & BACKUPS

RADIO SUPPORT
PocketCHIRP uses the open-source CHIRP radio programming system and supports a large range of radios through CHIRP drivers.

Capabilities vary by radio. USB and Bluetooth support can also depend on the radio, programming cable or adapter, Android device, and driver.

Check PocketCHIRP compatibility information for current tested radio and connection details.

POCKETCHIRP PREMIUM
Some functionality, including writing changes to a physical radio, may require a one-time PocketCHIRP Premium purchase.

No subscription is required.

BEFORE WRITING
Radio programming always carries some risk. Make a backup before changing your radio, verify important settings, select the correct radio model, and do not disconnect the radio or cable during a write.
