Great radio! I am using it in my UTV. I personally wouldn't use Chirp, especially for the initial setup. The Kenwood software is much easier to use and allows you to set up multiple zones and gives you much more freedom in what you can program. I have 3 or 4 zones set up, all for GMRS though, to make it easy to change channels to various bubble-pack radio brands, such as the Midlands and Cobras preprogrammed channels.
Chirp is great for easily moving channels up and down.
