Yeah, Yaesu sold a bunch of repeaters cheap and my only local repeater is fusion, and before I knew that, I bought a DMR radio with which I could only do analog. I would not pay for that over priced crap. - Original Message - From: Chuck Hast To: Discussion of CHIRP Sent: Friday, Marc

This is pure BS and FUD from Yaesu. They have propagated this now for years. The issue from what I understand is improper memory protection, you can brick the radios with their software too. FYI. I refuse to purchase Yaesu radios, there are many reasons but the big one is they are all proprietary,

There is no difference between digital and analogue channels EXCEPT the MODE is either FM or DIGITAL so Chirp can write to the "digital" channels. It just can't set MODE to DIGITAL. > On 25/03/2022 23:04 D.J.J. Ring, Jr. wrote: > > > That makes it crystal clear. > > Glenn, K0LNY and the rest

That makes it crystal clear. Glenn, K0LNY and the rest of us now have a clear answer. CHIRP cannot read or write to the digital channels! Fabulous! 73 David N1EA On Fri, Mar 25, 2022, 10:47 PM Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF wrote: > At least for the Yaesu FT-70, I don't have other Yaesu digital

Yaesu's own software, whilst somewhat crude, is suitable for all of the programming for Yaesu radios but doesn't allow importing data from Chirp. > On 25/03/2022 22:33 D.J.J. Ring, Jr. wrote: > > > Nigel, > > I'm confused - which is probably the way I came out at birth, but > isn't the Yaes

At least for the Yaesu FT-70, I don't have other Yaesu digital radios, Chirp will program frequencies, repeater shift etc. needed for the analogue FM mode but will not let you select digital as a mode or allow the setting of callsigns, etc required tor Fusion/Wires-X use. > On 25/03/2022 22:33

Nigel, I'm confused - which is probably the way I came out at birth, but isn't the Yaesu Fusion a digital mode? Can CHIRP work with at least the non-digital channels of transceivers like YAESU FT1DR? That's a Fusion radio but I don't see it listed on https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wi

John Kruk has a history of casting doubt on various items hams like to use with their Yaesu radios - he is quick to disparage Hotspots and now apparently CHIRP. On almost every Yaesu/Fusion radio I've seen, it takes several particular steps to update the firmware on their radios, none of which a

No. Chirp works fine with Yaesu radios. Never heard of a genuine case of Chirp bricking a radio. > On 25/03/2022 17:46 K0LNY_Glenn wrote: > > > Is this correct? > > - Original Message - > From: Anthony R Paolucci Jr mailto:anthonyfr...@gmail.com > To: K0LNY_Glenn mailto:glenn@ervin.e
