[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-8100?
Hey folks,
I recently picked up a Yaesu FT-8100, and I'm looking to program it with CHIRP. Has anybody else given this bad boy a shot? It looks to be programmable, so I'm hoping to adapt the CHIRP support for one of the other Yaesu mobiles, but I'm hoping maybe it's actually easier than that.
That is an older radio. I have one it is not hard to program it from the front panel. Chirp is not setup for the 8100. You either need the ADMS2 software or try RT Systems software and cable.

How can I request CHIRP to develop the programming for the Feidaxin FD-286A? I saw no place to make such a request on their website. Or for that matter, does anyone know of software to program this little Chinese HT. It's actually quite a nice little thing. Thanks, Richard AG5M
Richard,

Yaesus are generally pretty easy to write support for. They all use the same clone "protocol" (really just a dump of their memory with no protocol per se). Start with a similar model and try a Download From Radio. If it's an exact match, everything will work fine. If not, an error will be reported. You'll want to save the .img and inspect it with a hex editor after the failed download. Tweak memsize to make sure you get the whole thing.
This type of conversation is more appropriate for the chirp_devel list: http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_devel
