[chirp_users] Yaesu FT7250D with CTF-29

I recently bought a CTF-29 after reading it was the cable to buy based on Youtube videos. I cannot get it to work on windows 10 Pro. On doing a little research on the internet I see that most programming software for the radio come with a USB-29F cable. I am skeptical that there is a difference between the two. Any advice from the experts? Alan - W6ARH

This group deals with issues about CHIRP programming software, which doesn't support your radio. Your question may have a better chance of an answer at some of the Facebook Yaesu focused groups.

Chirp does support the Yaesu FTM-7250D R, so if that is what the OP meant by FT7250D, his radio is in fact supported.

He was asking about the correct cable.

Interesting that it is on that list, but neither of those models are listed on the CHIRP home page list of supported radios.
