I don't have first-hand experience, but I can offer second-hand experience recently. When converting the ft90 driver for chirp-next, I was working with a guy and we did get it working, so I think it's fine. It's not a popular (or common) radio and the driver doesn't support more than basic memory editing, but did seem to work. That said, I would encourage you to not cheap out on a cable (which you seem to realize is smart) on this one, even more so than normal. The ft90 is a weird arrangement where it requires power from the computer on one of the signal lines to work properly. Most radios only use a two or three-wire connection for the data lines, but this requires one of the hardware signaling lines. So, BlueMax49ers is the way to go, IMHO. --Dan _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to arch...@mail-archive.com at arch...@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscr...@intrepid.danplanet.com To report this email as off-topic, please email chirp_users-ow...@intrepid.danplanet.com Searchable archive: https://www.mail-archive.com/chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com
