Yaesu: Yaesu FT-70D programming issues

[KO4IPV]

Has anyone experienced a no programming with the USB failing? That is my issue ! Cannot program my FT-70 using Chirp keeps telling me the USB is not working.

dont use chirp, it does not handle mode selection properly (at all)

use the factory software and follow the instructions

Ok what is the website for that factory software for download? Please

I recommend the RT Systems software. Both Chirp and the OEM Yaesu software flailed. Could not program banks. Only RT has worked. I already had the programming cable from other radios. Do not use Chirp. May damage the radio and void warranty.

Or the RT Systems software.

RT System's software is generally excellent. Do you actually have experience with their software for the FT-70?

No only with Chirp and Sentinel software what is RT systems software? Is this something I can download?

The Yaesu software can be downloaded from the Yaesu website. K9WKJ gave you the link, but here it is again:

RT Systems is a third-party software developer. You can buy their software on their website:

$30. I use two dozen variants of their software, because it makes it easy for me to manage a lot of different radios, with a lot of frequency/channel overlap. The other user cmdrwill seemed to be implying that RT Systems software was on par with CHIRP. It isn't. It's a lot better. But there is no reason to use RT if the free Yaesu software does the job.

The free Yaesu software could not program banks on my radio. The software showed that they were there, but they were missing on the radio. No problem with RT Systems. I have a friend that did use the Yaesu software successfully, but there were extra steps involved that were not documented. Since I already had the programming cable, I just downloaded the RT software.

 

[k9wkj]

the Yaesu software programs banks just fine in mine (only 4 banks so far in the year and half ive had it)

The reason I buy the RTS SW is that it lets create one file for my TH-D72 and then easily copy the data to my ID-52+A and my FT-70DR. This makes life at easier.

Downloaded ADMS-10 from YAESU, installed it successfully. followed procedures to put FT-70 into ADMS mode. Select "get data from FT-70" under communications. I get the blah blah blah screen instructing to put into ADMS mode. select "ok" i keep getting an errorr dialog box that says "invalid com port" Argg!!

 

[k9wkj]

you have the wrong port selected in the communications drop menu of the software

 

[jgorman21]

The com port might be the same reason Chirp didn’t work!
