This branch adds Yaesu FT5D SD-BACKUP file support on top of PR #1621
- open and save the radio's SD-card
FT5D/BACKUP/BACKUP.datdirectly (no programming cable needed); - correct display of memory names typed with the radio's fullwidth ("2 byte letters") keyboard.
How to use it
- Install a current CHIRP build from https://chirpmyradio.com
- Download
chirp/drivers/ft2d.pyfrom this branch. - In CHIRP: Help > Developer Mode, then File > Load Module and pick that file (see the LoadingTestModules wiki page).
- On the radio: [DISP] > SD CARD > BACKUP > Write to SD, copy
FT5D/BACKUP/BACKUP.datfrom the card, open it in CHIRP, edit, File > Save As back toBACKUP.dat(same name), copy it to the card, then * > Read from SD > ALL* on the radio.
Caution: this has been verified on a single FT5DR. Keep an
untouched copy of your BACKUP.dat before writing anything back to the
radio, and use at your own risk.
