[chirp_users] Yaesu FT8900R Cloning

[joe]

Thank you very much quick response. It is very much appreciated

I am using an FTDI  chipsets table that I purchased from one of our fellow amateur colleagues.

I will try your suggestion in the morning and let you know how it goes. Assuming it goes well, you win the lottery
