The damage that can be done to the FT-8xx series of radios is why Yaesu recommended to the HAM RADIO DELUXE folks to remove the capability to read/write to that same area.
The later versions of HRD no longer R/W to those memory locations.
So consider the benefit opposed to the final cost.

I finally got the bluetooth CAT device for my 817 and am using Dan Toma¡¯s Pocket TxRx lite after difficulty on an older Android phone. It is a very slick program. Dan gives all sorts of warnings of the potential that the program could damage the radio or radio operating system. He strongly suggests that a backup file be made, just in case the radio file gets damaged, corrupted or whatever. Does anyone know how to make a backup file for the FT817, non ND? I¡¯ll check YouTube and Google again, to see if I can find something. Thanks
