The Baofeng web site states that they work in cooperation with Chirp but I see no evidence of that at all. In fact, I see Baofeng radios sold by Radioddity that are supported by Chirp, but those same radios under the Baofeng brand are not. One example is the UV-5RX3. Try to program 220 freqs into this radio using the Baofeng Chirp setting and you'll brick the radio. The same radio, using a Radioddity setting can be made to work.
True, using the Baofeng software to program the NA-6K would be easier than the radio's key pad, but still, I'm not going to spend HOURS programming this radio either way! The limited advantages of this radio over that of the UV-5R are just not worth it.

I would still think that entering the information in their program would be easier than entering the same information from the front panel of the radio. Still, though, I would think that the company behind the radio would offer a much better program to work with the radio.
