Re: Setting accessible name for SpinButton and ComboButton in pygtk2

[Tom Masterson <kd7cyu yahoo com>]

Not quite true.  They ill need a copy of chirp with any change you have made so a least daily and an image of 
a downloaded radio which can be provided (I have several).  All actions work on an image just as i you had 
just downloaded the information.

Alternatively if I can figure out how to get accerciser to give the information needed I would be happy to 
send log to any wh need them,
