[chirp_users] Question of radio support - Yaesu VX-1 and FT-1900
Just found your excellent software and have it working fine with my Baofeng UV-5R and Yaesu FT-60.
I am thinking I need to try programming these via my Linux box as the cables require different versions of Windows Proxima USB/COM drivers.
My questions are:
Is there a plan to add/support Yaesu VX-1 HT?
Is there a plan to add/support Yaesu FT-1900 mobile?
Has anyone tried the VX-3 and FT-2800 CHIRP setups with the VX-1 and FT-1900 respectively?
Thank you again for a great piece of open source code!

There is a "plan" to add support for any/all radios. However, the "plan" has the caveat that access to said radios by a developer is necessary. So, the "plan" is that if a developer can get his/her hands on either of these for a couple of weeks, they can be added to chirp :)

I doubt this will work. Yaesu is *really* bad about being consistent from model to model. Someone is working on a driver for the VX-2 right now, so I'm sure the VX-1 is at least as different from the VX-3 as the VX-2 is. I'm not sure about the similarities between the 1900 and 2800. It won't hurt to try a download, which will give you an idea of how close it is.
Thanks!
