[chirp_devel] Yaesu FTM-10R

A quick scan of the manual seems to indicate its a "wireless-only" clone.

This suggests it is some sort of sequence of tones sent OTA. Older Kenwood HT's, e.g. TH-79A did something similar using sequence of DTMF tones transmitted to other radio.
Because this is not serial- or file-based communication, Chirp currently doesnt have any support for it.
Opinion and conjecture follow...
I'm guessing it would be theoretically possible to write an OTA chirp driver, but it would likely have to accomplish two things:1. generate the actual (DTMF) tones for cloning to radio (either outputting to sound-card, or a wav file, etc which could be replayed via another radio), and2. decode (DTMF) tones received from master radio.
This assumes that there is no real-time ack/verification. (Otherwise this would require some real-time radio interaction with a surrogate radio coupled to pc/chirp in order to rx/tx audio OTA to the clone target.)
You would likely have to find some python modules which support this tone generation/decoding, or lash up something low-level, using python audio stream modules.

Hi AllThere isn't a programming cable for this radio but it can clone channels to other FTM-10R radios.Has anyone tried to reverse engineer this cloning ? Is it done via RF or Bluetooth ?Does anyone have 2 of these radios and the equipment to capture the cloning ?Thanks
Angus
