[chirp_devel] FT2D

[NNN Wx]

Is anybody working the Yaesu FT2D? It looks to be in the list of devices wanted and to have hardware, but I see no mention when I looked through the developer archives. And I’ve heard nothing back on the chirp users mailing list.

I’ve not found anybody (but maybe RTsystems and G4FHQ) who can do it reliably [or at all with a Macintosh] using the USB cable, but having a chirp version that can read and write the microSD card file (“BACKUP.dat”) would be a boon. The Yaesu-supplied software is painful to run, and even worse when I tried it under WINE on my macintosh. And I’d really, REALLY like a system that runs on Mac.

I’ve looked at the “Add a Radio” page (http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersAdd_a_Radio) and think I might be able to help with the memory dump and data structure identification. But I’d rather not start from scratch if others have already done it!
