Yaesu FT-60 Programming SW for Mac/Linux?

Finally got the Yaesu FT-60 I've been pining for from the SO for xmas; was wondering whether anyone's familiar with any Mac or Linux programming software for it. I have the serial cable and a USB/serial adapter, but a day's worth of Googling hasn't turned up any software for anything other than Windows. Is there any programming software for Mac/Linux, or am I stuck either finding a Windows machine or running a Windows instance in VMWare to program it? (Setting aside the ability to program it by hand, which looks like no fun at all, particularly given that I have a cable...) Any and all suggestions are welcome. 73 and happy holidays, KB1JMV I just bit the bullet and installed the software on a virtual session of Windows XP, running on my Mac OSx. -W9RAA- |

A good EmComm operator will have all the necessary channels in the area/region/state pre-programmed in before hand. That's what an ICS-205 is all about. Our complete region-wide template is nearly 200 channels, organized by county and function, and our county template is 20 channels. As far as computer-loading channels, when you have 200 channels (or more) to load, that's the only way to go. I just spent 15 minutes in the hot sun loading a new lineup into my ICOM mobile - pre-loaded in the software and cable-tested in the radio room before going out to the parking lot. I don't even want to think what it would take to do it manually - the buttons are too small for rapid use. AS far as doing it manually, we do that as an exercise for our hand-helds during the OR-ACES training, but we have the manuals and Nifty Guides to go by. Better to have it pre-loaded. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Member, Washington County, OR Emergency Communications Team for ARES/RACES and HEARTNET Station Co-manager - W7PSV / K7PSV Providence St. Vincent Medical Center Disaster Communication Team |
