<DIV>Fyi for those who use chirp 2 program your yaesu fusion radios chirp
software tends 2 turn your radios into useless bricks after programming them
score John Kruk Narketing/sales Manager at Yaesu USA. He reccomend either using
the programming software that Yaesu has if the programming software is available
for the make/model of the yaesu radio listed on the files tab for the radio. If
theres no programming software listed under your radio model then you are forced
to buy the programming cable & software from rt systems. Be advised if chirp
bricks your yaesu radio you will be forced to ship your radio to yaesu usa in
California for repairs. Also be advised that once chirp bricks your radio your
radio warranty will be voided and you will be responsible for paying all
shipping costs, parts & labor to restore your radio back to factory
settings.

use chirp in Linux, with the screenreader Orca.<BR>When you are in the Linux
graphic user interface, it is more like old <BR>windows than new windows
is.<BR>You will have menus like old windows, and virtually all the keyboard
<BR>commands in Linux are like that of windows shortcuts.<BR>Orca is more like
using NVDA than like using Jaws.<BR>And Chirp is fully accessible in
Linux.<BR>You can use Linux on a thumb drive without installing it.<BR>I have
Linux installed in a virtual machine on this computer, and I have it
<BR>installed side by side windows on another, and I have it on multiple USB
<BR>drives around here.<BR>You can install the live version to a backup drive
and the backed up files <BR>will still be there, but you can boot to that
drive if you want.<BR>But with all that, it is possible to use Chirp in
windows, but you have to <BR>do a lot of routing Jaws to PC, and then finding
the selection, and then <BR>routing PC to Jaws.<BR>And if you aren't familiar
already with the menu options in Chirp, this <BR>would be challenging, but I
have used it in Windows.<BR>Another problem with Chirp in windows, and sighted
people have this problem <BR>too, is that Windows has difficulty using the
right drivers, where Linux <BR>doesn't, and people just don't have driver
issues in Chirp when it comes to <BR>recognizing the cable they are connecting
between the computer and radio.<BR>Finally, people should not be afraid of
learning Linux, I think windows 10 <BR>has a steeper learning curve from
windows 7, than using Linux, that is the <BR>Linux desktop environment, when
people use terminal commands, that is more <BR>learning, that is like using
windows command window, and I think most <BR>windows users can't use that much
either.<BR><BR>HTH.<BR>Glenn
