[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-5D

[Jeff K3JRZ]

I think missed that part from the original issue. And, no, I have not
thought about volunteering my brand new radio for “months or years”, mostly
because *I’ve* been burned badly before by similar situations with people I
know or knew. I’m not saying the developers can’t be trusted, I’m sure they
can, but *I* do not trust others I do not know, due to *MY* *personal*
experiences. And those are my problems to deal with.

I know it’s all volunteers and stuff. I’m part of several such ham radio
communities that are the same way. I was just asking if there’s been any
update (“Has any progress been made…”) since it’s been 3 months that have
passed.  Really I just wanted a simple answer of yes or no. But I’ll take
all of that as a “no”.

Thank you for the reply.
