I¡¯ve been using chirp forever on many radios. ?Never bricked one. ?Never heard of Chirp bricking a radio from my friends and acquaintances either.

?No I have not updated the radio.? It did work before the reprogramming.? I checked to see if it was working and to see if one of the "new" repeaters was programmed in.? It was not so I added it to the file and uploaded.? I had previously downloaded
from the radio, added short list of repeaters then uploaded, several years before.? I have not had any problems like this with software from R T Systems or Chirp or several other sources.? The hard reset I did was - hold the band up and down buttons in and
power up the radio.? Any thing else I can try?? It doesn't appear to receive on any band or any mode.
