In the SW world, there are only three knobs to turn: fast, good, and cheap. However, increasing fast decreases good. Increasing cheap decreases good. But, fast and cheap can be increased at the expense of good. The rest is left as an exercise to the student. 😊

I wanted to know if it was a Yaesu policy to tell people not to use CHIRP. They say they've seen bricked radios caused by CHIRP. Said it's because CHIRP wrote to areas they're not supposed to write to. Said that RT Systems "works with Yaesu" and that's why they support RT Systems. Who would write the internal software for a radio where the programming software could brick it?

I was told they have the cable with the RT-Systems ADMS software, but not the cable by itself. I told the salesperson that I didn't need the software, that I had used CHIRP for years and he proceeded to tell me "You know, you're not supposed to use CHIRP with Yaesu radios...." I cut him off before he got finished with his statement and told him that it was an old wives' tale and not true. That's the second time I've heard the same propaganda from that particular vendor's sales team. 73 de W5NNH On Wed, May 22, 2019 at 9:54 AM Peter J.

I find that lack of understanding how to use Chirp leads to problems in using it. (Also, and contrary to most rumors, I have never found a programming cable that did not work.) Peter, N7IY P.S, Before anyone says anything, the way I program Baofengs, they will not transmit outside of the amateur radio bands. ----- Peter J.
