They are nearly identical, but the 7900 supports cross tone (different CTCSS settings on send and receive.) Dunno if Chirp knows the difference.

I have been assisting new Hams with programming their radios, and have had good success using Chirp, however today I ran into a problem with a FT-7900r, which I believe is supported. When attempt to download from radio, I select Yaesu, but there is no FT-7900 available in the model pull down. Am I missing something here?
Just choose 7800. They are the exact same radio, and it's more trouble to teach chirp to tell the difference than to teach the users :)
