[chirp_devel] Hello

[Andrew Errington]

Hi everyone,

I just became interested in Chirp, but I have a Yaesu VX-2R, which does not 
seem to be supported.

What do I have to do to add support for the VX-2R?  I suspect I could edit the 
VX-3 code, or could somebody tell me if it Just Works anyway?  I have read 
the list archives (and most of the main chirp_users list) but no mention is 
made of this radio.  Google doesn't tell me much either.

I generally use Linux, and I am comfortable with Python.  I have one VX-2R, 
and I don't want to break it..., but having said that I am building my own 
interface cable by hacking an FTDI-based USB->serial adaptor.  All I have to 
do is remove the RS232 level shifter chip and connect VCCIO on the FTDI chip 
to 3V3 instead of 5V.  Naturally I am doing all of this in my copious free 
time, so who knows when it will be finished.

Thanks in advance for anything about the VX-2R,

73,

Andrew
