[chirp_users] [blind-hams] Anybody using chirp software?

[K0LNY_Glenn]

Yeah, Yaesu sold a bunch of repeaters cheap and my only local repeater is fusion, and before I knew that, I bought a DMR radio with which I could only do analog.
I would not pay for that over priced crap.

This is pure BS and FUD from Yaesu. They have propagated
this now for years. The issue from what I understand is improper
memory protection, you can brick the radios with their software
too. 


FYI.
I refuse to purchase Yaesu radios, there are many reasons
but the big one is they are all proprietary, they want to run
a walled garden in ham radio, Their digital radios are a very
good example of this. The protocol is proprietary, just try to
put it in your radio, you will have Yaesu bottom feeder critters
a knocking on your door. 


If their programming software was so good why do so many
prefer Chirp (this is not a critique of Chirp and the developers,
Chirp is like a Swiss Army knife) to program their radios. And
also they send you off to Windows based crap that is RT 
Systems... Again proprietary... 

Sorry folks, but this is amateur radio and I do not believe
proprietary has a place in our hobby. 

Best Regards.

  Yeah, CHIRP is specifically for analogue programming.  Nothing digital, that’s where the manufacturer software comes into play.

    That makes it crystal clear.


    Glenn, K0LNY and the rest of us now have a clear answer. CHIRP cannot read or write to the digital channels!


    Fabulous!

      At least for the Yaesu FT-70, I don't have other Yaesu digital radios, Chirp will program frequencies, repeater shift etc. needed for the analogue FM mode but will not let you select digital as a mode or allow the setting of callsigns, etc required tor Fusion/Wires-X use.
