I have a Yaesu FT2600M can I program this rig with Chirp? I am totally blind, and programming the rig by hand just isn't getting the job done. Thanks for any help.

As a newbe with a new Yaesu FT-70D, on 3/16/2019 I used CHIRP to easily import into it the 43 repeaters within 20 miles of me, per RepeaterBook.com. I first installed a virtual com port to my Win10 laptop using: https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridg... I first manually programmed two repeaters into my FT-70D so I'd have some data to view. Then I ran the CHIRP program, following its on-screen instructions to connect my HT. Using the CHIRP program, I then imported my area's repeaters. Then I exported the data so I could use Excel to re-arrange the rows. Having the data in Excel allowed me to print a list on paper, that I now refer to. Then I imported the data back to my FT-70D without problems.
FWIW, on the "Official Yaesu USA" Facebook group site, the Yaesu nat'l sales mgr, John Kruk, on 3/12/2019, responded to a comment, "Is there a problem using chirp?" by writing "Yes CHIRP has damaged radios". Perhaps someone had tried using CHIRP with an unlisted radio or had failed to follow the CHIRP instructions. I discovered Mr. Kruk's comment after I had successfully used CHIRP.
Thank you for the volunteers who developed and maintain CHIRP!
Doug K7KDG PS. I'm re-sending this msg as "plain text" 'cause my first effort using html was "scrubbed" by Mailman.
