Tim, you are surely right. BTW both the 857 and 817 should bail out from clone send with an error tone if non US sub-model is erroneously selected in chirp.

Dick,

I had the same problem until I realized that there are two possible selections in chirp for the FT-857. The first one was "FT-857D". It did not work. The second was "FT-857D US" and that one did work. See if there are the same options for the FT-817 (generic and US model).

When I download the 817ND using CHIRP (latest published download), I
am not seeing the M601-605 channels even with "Special Channels"
checked. I do see all the VFO's etc. The 817ND is new, bought at
Dayton, but just got the data cable, and CHIRP is working fine with
my Wouxan UVD1P.

Any ideas? or did Yaesu just do a better job of "hiding" the channels?

Chirp works great for this purpose.  One can also change the mode as desired.  Yaesu had no plans to do anything about this so chirp is a great service for these units. I don't think the rigs have the inherent ability to change the 60M channels or modes "on the fly" so chirp is the only option.  Whether or not Yaesu is going to make a change to future units remains to be seen but I doubt they are going to do anything about it.   I was wondering since the 897 is an 857 in a different box, does 60M programming work with chirp too?                                                Kurt KC9LDH

I think I may have selected the "International" version of the 817ND, because I was getting a "Error" on the 817 screen at the end of the upload. I started all over...and it worked. As us pilots used to say..."Suffering from Cockpit Turbulence"!  It's working fine now, and got the 60M  M603 reprogrammed fine!
