Just got off the phone with Yaesu tech support. I wanted to know if it was a Yaesu policy to tell people not to use CHIRP.They say they've seen bricked radios caused by CHIRP. Said it's because CHIRP wrote to areas they're not supposed to write to. Said that RT Systems "works with Yaesu" and that's why they support RT Systems. Who would write the internal software for a radio where the programming software could brick it?On Fri, May 24, 2019 at 3:33 PM Ben Smith <thex1le@gmail.com> wrote:I love chirp but there are some know bugs with yeasu radios. Doesn't mean you shouldn't use it though._______________________________________________On Fri, May 24, 2019, 12:25 John Kemker <kemkerj3@gmail.com> wrote: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.73 de W5NNHOn Wed, May 22, 2019 at 9:54 AM Peter J.
