Hi All, I have been assisting new Hams with programming their radios, and have had good success using Chirp, however today I ran into a problem with a FT-7900r, which I believe is supported. When attempt to download from radio, I select Yaesu, but there is no FT-7900 available in the model pull down. Am I missing something here?

Just choose 7800. They are the exact same radio, and it's more trouble to teach chirp to tell the difference than to teach the users :)
They are nearly identical, but the 7900 supports cross tone (different CTCSS settings on send and receive.) Dunno if Chirp knows the difference.

The manual page for split tone operation on the 7800 and 7900 look identical to me. CHIRP doesn't currently support setting those modes, although it would be trivial to add.
That's interesting, since both ADMS and FTB-7900 are unique for that one feature.
