This is pure BS and FUD from Yaesu. They have propagated this now for years. The issue from what I understand is improper memory protection, you can brick the radios with their software too.
FYI. I refuse to purchase Yaesu radios, there are many reasons but the big one is they are all proprietary, they want to run a walled garden in ham radio, Their digital radios are a very good example of this. The protocol is proprietary, just try to put it in your radio, you will have Yaesu bottom feeder critters a knocking on your door.
If their programming software was so good why do so many prefer Chirp (this is not a critique of Chirp and the developers, Chirp is like a Swiss Army knife) to program their radios. And also they send you off to Windows based crap that is RT Systems... Again proprietary...
Sorry folks, but this is amateur radio and I do not believe proprietary has a place in our hobby.
Best Regards.

Yeah, CHIRP is specifically for analogue programming. Nothing digital, that’s where the manufacturer software comes into play. — With greatest regards, Geordon Shōshin 正心 VanTassle

That makes it crystal clear.
Glenn, K0LNY and the rest of us now have a clear answer. CHIRP cannot read or write to the digital channels!
Fabulous!

At least for the Yaesu FT-70, I don't have other Yaesu digital radios, Chirp will program frequencies, repeater shift etc. needed for the analogue FM mode but will not let you select digital as a mode or allow the setting of callsigns, etc required tor Fusion/Wires-X use.

Nigel,
I'm confused - which is probably the way I came out at birth, but isn't the Yaesu Fusion a digital mode?
Can CHIRP work with at least the non-digital channels of transceivers like YAESU FT1DR? That's a Fusion radio but I don't see it listed on https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Supported_Radios
Other Yaesu Fusion radios are:
FT1DR FT2DR FT3DR FT5DR FT-70DR FTM-100DR FTM-300DR FTM-400DR FTM-3200DR FTM-3207DR FTM-7250DR FT-991
I see in supported radios, that these are listed:
FTM-3100 (use FTM-3200D selection) FTM-3200D
I don't know if FTM-3200D is different than FTM-3200DR
Could you help unconfuse me, I don't know much about Yaesu digital
radios.
Thank you,

No. Chirp works fine with Yaesu radios. Never heard of a genuine case
of Chirp bricking a radio.
