Hello,
Due to first hand experience, I will never use CHIRP again to program any radio!
I bricked my 817ND with it. I had to pay for the recovery procedure at Yeasu,? due to using CHIRP. Yeasu stated using CHIRP voided my warentee.
I have sence used RT Systems's ADMS-4A
for programming my 817ND.
In fact, I now use RT Systems software for ALL 6 of my radios.
It is only $25.00, for lifetime use and full support and updates. If you need a programming cable with the software, it is $49.00.
Others have used CHIRO with little or no problems, but it is use at your own risk.
I myself, do not want to take anymore risks with expensive radios.
Anyway, that is my experience with CHIRP.
