Hello Clint
I tried your search string. Copied it right from the message
and inserted into the search field of Google. Dozens of pages
came back. After sifting through the first five pages of results
I found no material on Chirp bricking Yaesu or any other radios.
Not sure why I get NADA but my results might explain why you
are feeling like the Lone Ranger.
Regards

I cannot believe I am the only person to have read horror stories about using this software on some Yaesu rigs ... And Yaesu's John Kruk has specifically stated that units bricked with CHIRP are in violation of Yaesu's warranty.
THAT IS FROM JOHN - DON'T YELL AT ME! (g)
I have owned several FT-60R HTs since the moment they were available: I worked at HRO-Anaheim when they were released, and ours was the first? HRO to receive them. YES -- as I stated - I have used CHIRP on a FT-60R with success. But it is NOT something I publicly or professionally suggest hams do.?
It was touched upon in an earlier post: What one gains with RTSystems is a solid firm, with tech support waiting for your call or email message. Heck, they were even answering the phones as the moving van was still bringing in furniture during their last physical move (SOURCE: MY phone call on a Saturday recently.) You do not run in to COM PORT error nonsense. You have a solid, proven product. And there are Mac-specific titles (including our FT-60R) available.
SO ... Search the Web for "chirp bricks yaesu radio" - don't ask me for citations, trust your own search results.
Clint
PS I have been "everything" with RTSystems: from a consumer to a beta tester to a dealer for a short-lived project and back to a very satisfied consumer ... always had positive experiences. I musty pwn 15 or 20 titles ...
