Yeah, good point. This is an artifact of the fact that CHIRP uses a
single routine (or variation of it) to program the VX-series handhelds.
Yaesus implement no flow control on the line, and they can't accept data
at the full line speed (unlike Icoms, Kenwoods, Alincos and all the
Chinese radios I've seen). This means that we end up writing data to the
radio at the lowest common speed that all of them will accept, which is
slower than an application tuned specifically
for one model would.
