Thanks, I mentioned the other platforms. Right now, I am trying to get Packet and then APRS running on my Raspberry Pi. I will try CHIRP on it as well.

Also do not forget it runs on the major platforms, i.e. It started out on Linux and is of course available for Windows (as you have presented) and Mac. I believe it will also run under BSD.
A lot of us like to run it on a Raspberry Pi.

remark for your presentation the cheap cables with clone prolific chips works fine with the older driver version 3.2.0.0
a good source for technical staff can be found at www.miklor.com (the bible ofradios) you can download that driver there....

I wish to thank all of you for your findings on the Yaesu radios. I am giving a presentation on CHIRP to our local (Eastern Idaho) HAMs tonight. If you are interested, the PDF of my presentation is located at: http://www.qrvtronics.com/CatHAM_Radio/files/UsingCHIRPorOtherSoftware.pdf

Well there's some truth there, but what truth I'm aware of should not scare anyone off from using chirp with Yaesus.
Back in early 2014 I was doing some chirp code development on FT-60s, fixing some bugs and with the eventual goal of adding "Settings" control. Someone else has since done that.
Part of that process is mapping the memory by twiddling bits in the image, uploading to the radio, and seeing through the radio's button interface what changed. It went pretty smoothly for a while, then I managed to brick *TWO* FT-60s. One of which was repaired by sending it to the factory to replace an eprom.
I'm not going to add any further detail here, my investigation was pretty thoroughly documented in a thread on the chirp_devel mail list with subject "How to brick an FT-60" starting 3/22/14. See also Bug #1547: [FT-60] Chirp should check parity on download.
But normal use of chirp to program radios doesn't do this. The user interface only lets you make limited, well understood changes to the radio image bitmap. I still do that with mine.

Has anyone had a problem programming a Yaesu radio with CHIRP? Someone mentioned that their Yaesu was damaged and had to be sent to
the
factory because CHIRP had overwritten some code controlling the
processor.
It also had to be re-flashed. Since I don't fully understand how CHIRP works this doesn't make
sense to
me, but knowing manufacturing companies, they may share Channel
Memory with
processor memory and not think much about it. Thanks for your information.
