Just got off the phone with a national amateur radio vendor, asking if they had the cable for my FTM3200DR for sale. I was told they have the cable with the RT-Systems ADMS software, but not the cable by itself. I told the salesperson that I didn't need the software, that I had used CHIRP for years and he proceeded to tell me "You know, you're not supposed to use CHIRP with Yaesu radios...." I cut him off before he got finished with his statement and told him that it was an old wives' tale and not true.
That's the second time I've heard the same propaganda from that particular vendor's sales team.

While I have only programed 1 Yeasu (successful), I have programed over 150 Baofengs and Wouxuns, all but 2 successfully on the first try. (I am the unofficial "programer” for my club).
I made a simi-brick out of 2 Baofengs. It look a while, but I was successful in restoring both of these to full use.
I find that lack of understanding how to use Chirp leads to problems in using it.
(Also, and contrary to most rumors, I have never found a programming cable that did not work.)

P.S, Before anyone says anything, the way I program Baofengs, they will not transmit outside of the amateur radio bands.
