[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-5D

[Ken Hansen]

The "months and years" was about how long it can take to get a loaner/donated radio into a developer's hands.

I think the coding process is much shorter than "years".

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 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”.

I also do not see the radio listed on the CHIRP site. Since then RT Systems and Yaesu both have applications to program the FT-5D. I've used the Yaesu ADMS14 through my Win10 VM and in my honest opinion it's complete garbage. It's the first Yaesu app that I've used to program a radio. CHIRP is by far THE best that I've used, AND userit works on my Mac.
