<div dir="auto">I think missed that part from the original issue. 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.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I know it’s all volunteers and stuff. I’m part of several such ham radio communities that are the same way. 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”.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thank you for the reply.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Dec 19, 2021 at 13:47 D.J.J.

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?
