CHIRP is a FREE cross-platform, cross-radio programming tool. It works on Windows and
Linux (and MacOSX with a little work). It supports a growing list of radios across several
manufacturers and allows transferring of memory contents between them.
Mike N4MEP tells how:
I used CHIRP to read all my stored memories from a Wuoxun KG-UV3DP, saved them as a
CSV file. I then read from the Baofeng UV-3R to create the correct image file and imported the
saved CSV file. Then finally I wrote all the memories to the radio.

TIPS&TRICKS
During scanning, if you turn the dial the direction of scanning can be changed "on the fly" from
low-high to high-low channel numbers.
When a stored frequency becomes a nuisance, switch the RX to an unused CTCSS/DCS code
and it skips that channel in the scan. You can do a similar setup for scan groups. Kind of labor
intensive but it keeps weak stations and interference from interrupting scans.
