I had a similar chat with yaesu about this. if their stuff is so fragile then I'll buy gear that's less fragile elsewhere. they want people to license their API (at an extra cost) and they seem to. forget that they're serving the amateur radio market which is supposed to provide opportunities to tinker with stuff.

I dunno. I talked to the rep from Yaesu who warned me that Chirp could permanently brick my radio. He did not appreciate my feedback that if a user program could permanently disable a device, that struck ME as a pretty clear design flaw. Most devices are designed to protect core OS functions.
