Hi everyone,
I just became interested in Chirp, but I have a Yaesu VX-2R, which does not seem to be supported.
What do I have to do to add support for the VX-2R? I suspect I could edit the VX-3 code, or could somebody tell me if it Just Works anyway? I have read the list archives (and most of the main chirp_users list) but no mention is made of this radio. Google doesn't tell me much either.
I generally use Linux, and I am comfortable with Python. I have one VX-2R, and I don't want to break it..., but having said that I am building my own interface cable by hacking an FTDI-based USB->serial adaptor. All I have to do is remove the RS232 level shifter chip and connect VCCIO on the FTDI chip to 3V3 instead of 5V. Naturally I am doing all of this in my copious free time, so who knows when it will be finished.
Thanks in advance for anything about the VX-2R,
73,
Andrew ZL3AME
