G4HFQ
http://www.g4hfq.co.uk/ I really like this $15 is affordable It works great when my harddrive crashed a few years ago, I emailed him and he quickly replied with the product key so I could reinstall it great service few weeks ago, I tried to use [cough] CHIRP on my FT-7800 and it crashed blowing all the memories out of my rig. G4HFQ and cheap Valley Ent. cables from amazon, are the way to go for yaesu rigs

| Wished He had something for the FT1DR, CHIRP isint up on it yet and the Yaesu SW is a little difficult, course I am new to it so it may get easier but I tried to do some .csv imports to it --which it is supposed to do and it does not see the file or recoqnize the format.. |

I've used the G4FHQ software for over 5 years. Works great! I can use the same cable on the FT-1802M, FT-2800M, FT-1900R, and FT-2900R.
I've also used CHIRP to program the Baofeng UV-5R and variants, Alinco DR-135T, as well as the FT-1802M and FT-2800M. When I bought the G4FHQ software I had a problem at first getting connection to the rig. I emailed him, and he CALLED ME from the UK and talked me through selecting the correct Com Port and getting it to connect. THAT, OM, is customer service! |

I'll add my +1 to this thread. I use his FTBasicMMO software for my FT-897D. It made it much easier to load up the memories as well as back the rig up. Also, when a hack was discovered back in 2012 by the CHIRP folks for reprogramming the 60m channel 3 from 5368kHz to 5358.5kHz , he incorporated the hack into FTBasicMMO which was offered to licensed users as a free upgrade. Yaesu has never offered a fix to FT-897D owners for the now mis-programmed 60m channel. Not that I use 60m but it was irritating that one of the channels was basically useless and Yaesu refused to address the issue. |
