Python is pretty easy to learn. Luckily most of the Yaesu rigs use the
same clone protocol, so you shouldn't have to write this. You will
however have to decode the memory map. This is more of a puzzle than a
coding challenge--the memory map syntax is modeled after a c-struct
and very simple to learn.

If any errors are reported or the channel data doesn't match what is in the radio, a new radio driver will need to be written. For this I would need to have the radio. Typically radios are loaned to developers, but in your case international shipping makes this impractical.
