Anyway, could never get it to work, the Chirp software and the radio could not “speak” to each other. I’ve been using the ADMS software for the last ten years with both the FT60 and the FT-7900 with absolutely NO problems. Sure, it’s $50 as opposed to “free” (Chirp), but it works, I’m familiar with it, and it does what I want it to do.<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Mar 17, 2020, at 7:04 PM, <a href="mailto:benton@siletzbay.com" class="">benton@siletzbay.com</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" class=""><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif" class=""><p class="">On 2020-03-17 08:52, Dennis Wage wrote:</p>

I know HRO sold bare 'Kenwood' cables but for my FT-60 I had to buy a cable with the RTS software for $40 - $50. SW was useless to me, me being a Linux guy (and back then w/o a Win VM.)</p><p class="">And at that, I later found the cable wouldn't work with one of the wx-resistant Yaesu models -- the overmolding wouldn't fit down into the programming socket.</p><p class="">Benton 17mar2020<br class="">--<br class="">NX7O<br class=""><a href="mailto:benton@siletzbay.com" class="">benton@siletzbay.com</a><br class=""><br class=""></p>
