Yaesu Vx-3000 Software

You've just received your two way radio, taken it out of the package, and now you want to get it operational. You plugged in the programming cable, downloaded the driver, set up the software, and connected the cable the radio to program it.
Here are the steps to troubleshoot if the programming software for your two way radio does not recognize the COM Port or the programming cable purchased from Buy Two Way Radios. Step 1. Verify the programming cable is installed correctly.
Step 6. If the program does not recognize the programming cable or the COM Port assigned to it, refer to the manufacturer of the programming software. If you are using CHIRP programming software, go to the CHIRP web site at and download the latest daily build of CHIRP or report the issue to CHIRP.
While I am generally in favor of open source software I have found the end to end solution of RT Systems to be helpful. I am using their cable and software solution on two of my radios and will be adding more at some point.
I have never heard of RT Systems before now. I have used CHIRP several times. I have a Kenwood D7, D72, D710, and UV5R. CHIRP allows me to copy the same programming to all of them. Thats an improvement over Kenwoods software which did not allow that.
I run both Mac and Windows in my shack. So the supported platforms are to me a non issue. I tried CHIRP once and it is like most open source stuff, unstable and tacky. So RT Systems is my choice. For all of my radios. It always works without a hassle as a result of the right combination of hard and software.
I have used RT systems software for years and have found it very useful. I like the inclusion of using Travel Plus files to aet up the memory on the radios in my vehicles and their technical support is excellent.
That is exactly what makes open source software tacky. And unstable. Too many know-it-all guys poking in other peoples code. Pretending they know better. In the end a project is unmaintainable and ready for the trash bin. Look at Joomla for example. Throw V2.5 away and start all over in V3 leaving no decent migration path for millions of users.
I do use both for my radios. I have found that for the newer radios, RT Systems usually has the software ready before Chirp which is not surprising since they make a profit. However, as Chirp comes online with the matching software it seems to me that it has fewer holes or missing parts for a particular radio. So, I eventually move to Chirp as my old reliable solution.
I have been using CHIRP for at least 3 years now, and it is my primary software of choice. As for the list of radios supported in this article, it is not complete. This right from the CHIRP wiki has a complete list of radios supported and the process to get a radio supported if it is not currently and requested.
The developers are very professional, and are not just shoot by the hip type. All changes, additions, and updates are gone though a fine comb before getting out in the daily builds. For a free service provided by radio operators for radio operators, I will support them all the way instead of sending money to RTS that locks down program cords to be unuseable without buying through them the software/cord.
As I understand, RT makes an absolutely excellent product. However, I currently own 21 handhelds and 4 mobiles; Baofeng, Wouxun, Leixen, Anytone, etc. Every one of them is supported by CHIRP so I have no reason to invest in specialty software at this time.
I have an open request for manufacturers of amateur radio gear: publish a simple way to program it. Include software inside the radio that speaks to humans and is easily interfaced to existing programs. Publish the API so that companies cannot create a monopoly or that well-meaning developers do not have to waste time reverse-engineering it.
I have a Yaesu FT-7900R and a Baofeng UV82. RT Systems program and cable does a nice job with the Yaesu and Chirp does a nice job with the Baofeng (purchased on Amazon with programming cable). Instead of booting my Windows 10 laptop I used my Linux Mint 18.3 tower and Chirp with the RT cable to program the Yaesu. Although it did load the memories and did not hurt the radio, Chirp had no provision to choose frequency or label for the display. If there was a label it automatically displayed it instead of the frequency. Has anyone been able to run the RT Systems software in Linux under Wine? I would definitely prefer to run RT Systems on my Yaesu!
If Chirp would provide a full .csv file for all of the fields needed to program the radios, then I would reconsider going back to it. But using a SDC Card, the cables are no longer needed with RT Systems software.
I use chirp. I have never used rt systems so I can not comment on that. I have read many comments here that have mentioned driver issues and wasting time trying to get chirp to work. This is not my experience. My experience is including the first time, run chirp, plug in programming cable, download from radio, make changes, upload to radio, all without errors or problems. I am not saying chirp is better, because I have only used chirp so I have any experience with other programming software to compare, I am saying that in my experience chirp work well so I see no point in paying money for software that would for me be harder to run. 2b1af7f3a8
