Hi!
I'm using a Yaesu VX-6 handheld transceiver. For simplifying programming hundreds of memories, scan frequencies settings etc. I'm looking for a PC software.
There's Yaesu's ADMS and KC8UNJ's VX-6 commander - but both are Windows tools :-(

Is there any Linux/open-source Yaesu programming software?

Regards,
Andreas Weller, DF1PAW

Andreas,

I didn't find any when I was looking for my VX-7. I ended up using KC8UNJ's software on a Windows machine. I didn't try, but it might work under Wine.

FWIW, Bob G4HFQ has written some pretty good (for Windows :-) ) sofware for programming various Yaesu rigs which he sells for a very reasonable price. The support for his software is rather good too!

I would like to think that Bob would be approachable for a port to Linux. www.g4hfq.co.uk is the link.

My vxu software can save and restore the data for many Yaesu radios, but I've never tried a VX-6 or VX-7. It is only the data transfer part for backing up and restoring the settings, being a port of the "yard" tools.
