Re: [chirp_devel] [PATCH 0 of 4] Make ft857 survive to run_tests

1. To test the RT cable, do you know of a simple text string to send to

the 857 to see if it's properly receiving and I get a known response back?

Nope, and it doesn't look like the image has a typical yaesu ID string in the front, which is how I tell people to test the VX radios.

2. I'm assuming I can download the newest nightly snapshot and apply

Marco's emailed patches (except his "merge" patch) or do I need to use a different version of Chirp?

Yep, that should be fine.
