Is anybody working the Yaesu FT2D? It looks to be in the list of devices wanted and to have hardware, but I see no mention when I looked through the developer archives. And I’ve heard nothing back on the chirp users mailing list.
I’ve not found anybody (but maybe RTsystems and G4FHQ) who can do it reliably [or at all with a Macintosh] using the USB cable, but having a chirp version that can read and write the microSD card file (“BACKUP.dat”) would be a boon. The Yaesu-supplied software is painful to run, and even worse when I tried it under WINE on my macintosh. And I’d really, REALLY like a system that runs on Mac.
I’ve looked at the “Add a Radio” page (http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersAdd_a_Radio) and think I might be able to help with the memory dump and data structure identification. But I’d rather not start from scratch if others have already done it!
I'm pretty sure no one has done significant work on the FT2D.
I did do a lot of work on the FT1D and I'm assuming it's not that different. Unfortunately I don't have a FT2D to work with.
With the origiinal FT1D driver it was hundreds ( it not thousands ) of memory dumps to get the correct offsets for the settings.
