Software I use for my Yeasu
I use the ADMS (RT Systems programmer
RT Systems Radio Programming Software) software for my VX8 for now. It works for me. Though I've only recently just begun using it as I first wanted to know how to proram the radio on the fly so that if I am somewhere without my computer and cable I could still do it. Same as with my scanners I use the software available for them to program and tweak - but I still can do it manually for the same reasons.
I have seen the commander software from G4HFQ and thought about checking it out but I don't have any real experience to talk about. He does have screen shots at his website
G4HFQ Radio Programming Software , and he seems pretty active in coding updates and fixes.
The software interface to my radio ads yet another dimension to my fun - as I can "play" with the organization of my saved freq's tweak the the tags for the frequency names as well as the banks I store them in - and then create different sets of banks, link banks for scanning etc. as well as capture my radios basic set mode settings.
THe ADMS software is fairly easy to use - its alot like the scanning softwares for my pro-106 meaning if your familiar with object oriented programming for like PSRedit, ARC500 or WIN500 you will feel right at home.
I think you would be better off just picking one and trying it out - Get the correct calbe for your radio and yo should be good to go. I do think that the Commander software is less expensive that the Yeasu/RT systems so that might be the best path to expieriment with.
