Manufacturer Disclaimer:
RT Systems programmers work with the radio specified from the manufacturer shown in the description.
No implication is made that a programmer is appropriate for a radio with a similar number from a different manufacturer. Actually, purchasing a programmer for a radio from a different manufacturer just because it has a similar number is strongly discouraged.
RT Systems takes no responsibility for the performance of your radio should you choose to use a programmer other than that listed specifically for the manufacturer and model of that radio you are attempting to program.
Exceptions are noted in the description for several products. Check there if you feel your radio is a variant of the one shown, but be advised that the manufacturer will never vary. If the model is not listed, you should check with RT Systems prior to your purchase.
Installed software is NOT returnable, exchangeable or returnable.

The cable that comes in the box with the radio is for firmware upgrades when they are available from Yaesu.
Do not lose that cable. You may need it in the future to keep the firmware of the radio up to date.
Â
Firmware upgrades differ from radio programming.
- The radio must be put into a special mode that allows it to connect to the computer for that process. In the past, this was done with a toggle switch in the radio. The manufacturer wants you well aware that you are altering the internal workings of the radio.
- Think of programming as "upper lever" changes to the radio where a firmware upgrade involves "lower", or "deep" changes to the radio. Considering you can do the same changes to the radio via the keypad, knob and menus, programming via the computer does not touch the true underlying workings of the radio. After programming, the radio can be reset to factory defaults through a series of keystrokes.
So you have the choice of the RT Systems USB-68 cable, the Yaesu SCU-18 or SCU-19 cable, or a suitable Micro SD Card for programming.
