Also do not forget it runs on the major platforms, i.e. It started out on Linux and is of course available for
Windows (as you have presented) and Mac. I believe it will also run under BSD.

A lot of us like to run it on a Raspberry Pi.

remark for your presentation
the cheap cables with clone prolific chips works fine with the older driver version 3.2.0.0

a good source for technical staff can be found at www.miklor.com (the bible ofradios)
you can download that driver there....

I wish to thank all of you for your findings on the Yaesu radios.
I am giving a presentation on CHIRP to our local (Eastern Idaho) HAMs tonight.
If you are interested, the PDF of my presentation is located at: http://www.qrvtronics.com/CatHAM_Radio/files/UsingCHIRPorOtherSoftware.pdf

Well there's some truth there, but what truth I'm aware
of should not scare anyone off from using chirp with Yaesus.

Back in early 2014 I was doing some chirp code development
on FT-60s, fixing some bugs and with the eventual goal of
adding "Settings" control. Someone else has since done that.

Part of that process is mapping the memory by twiddling bits
in the image, uploading to the radio, and seeing through the
radio's button interface what changed. It went pretty smoothly
for a while, then I managed to brick *TWO* FT-60s. One of
which was repaired by sending it to the factory to replace
an eprom.

I'm not going to add any further detail here, my investigation
was pretty thoroughly documented in a thread on the chirp_devel
mail list with subject "How to brick an FT-60" starting 3/22/14.
See also Bug #1547: [FT-60] Chirp should check parity on download.

But normal use of chirp to program radios doesn't do this. The
user interface only lets you make limited, well understood
changes to the radio image bitmap. I still do that with mine.
