I've always heard that stated as "Fast, reliable, and Cheap. Pick two."

In the SW world, there are only three knobs to turn: fast, good, and

decreases good. But, fast and cheap can be increased at the expense of
good. The rest is left as an exercise to the student. 😊

Just got off the phone with Yaesu tech support. 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?

Doesn't mean you shouldn't use it though.

Just got off the phone with a national amateur radio vendor,
asking if they had the cable for my FTM3200DR for sale. 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.

While I have only programed 1 Yeasu (successful), I have
programed over 150 Baofengs and Wouxuns, all but 2
successfully on the first try. (I am the unofficial
"programer” for my club).
I made a simi-brick out of 2 Baofengs. It look a while,
but I was successful in restoring both of these to full use.
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.)

P.S, Before anyone says anything, the way I program
Baofengs, they will not transmit outside of the amateur
radio bands.
