Hello Everyone,<br>
<br>
KI6ZHD here. I just discovered Chirp as I was looking for some way of
synchronizing the memories across my F6A, two D710s, and a VX5 in a
Linux-only environment. I did some tests and it seems that the Kenwood
TH-F6A support is close but it's missing the memory's NAME which is
very important to me. I then tried the Kenwood D710 which communicated
but didn't support and a Yaesu VX5 didn't work at all. I also noticed
I couldn't save any downloaded data nor upload anything back to the
radios (see below). The F6A and D710 are the priority radios for me
and the VX5 is a backup. Any thoughts on getting the F6A and the D710
working?<br>
<br>
Taking it a step further, I'm ideally looking for is a memory
syncronization tool across different radios. I'm not looking for full
backups (though that would be nice like Kenwood's Windows applications)
but memories is good enough.<br>
<br>
Any possibility of coming up with a system that would:<br>
<br>
- load multiple radio's data at the same time<br>
- merge and navigate conflicts (move memories I added in the Car or
at Home) and allow me to move them into free slots<br>
- come up with a new master file<br>
- program them back into each of the radios<br>
<br>
I know that I could manually do this with Chirp with say CSV files but
I think a merging feature like this would be a fantastic.<br>
