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.<div><div><br></div><div>Has any progress been made to have CHIRP be able to program the FT-5D?
