  • Other comments

    • Running software written in C# or for .Net won’t run well if at all under Wine

    • Interfacing your radio through USB ports to Wine does not work well either. Many driver issues with this method.

    • CHIRP was mentioned. It has a large list of supported radios, but caution must be used. Memory channels can be corrupted. Also on some radio models, the full access to the radio features may not be available.
