With the current world situation going on, I'm seeing an uptick in traffic to the various "how to program x radio" posts here at the blog. For convenience, here are the major posts on the topic.
- Linux, Chirp, Programming Radios, and All That: Mostly linux & how to find the right USB port.
- Radio Programming Notes: Cables for Baofengs, FT-817/818s, and FT-857s are discussed. There's also a brief how-to setting an FT-8*7 to receive programming via said cable.
- Programming a Yaesu FT-60 Radio Using Chirp: An explicit step-by-step.
- Quick-Start Programing... Yaesu FT-60R: External link to a handy one-pager on manually programming these things when the chirps are down. Print it out and stick it in your go-kit.
- A Yaesu FT-60 Manual for Humans (my commentary and some links) and the actual manual at an external link.
- Yaesu FTM-7250D Quick Start Programming: Manual programming, no cables needed. In the same general format as the above-linked quick-start for the FT-60R. Surprisingly easy. Also, note that Yaesu's Fusion digital mode gives significantly farther useable range for voice communications, so that may be something you want to look into.
- Yaesu FT-70DR Quick Start Programming (added 6/27/20).
ps: Don't have your ham license? Odds are good that you have spare time on your hands at the moment. Here, read through this:
All resources listed there are available online, so there's no need to go out for any of this.
OK, having said all that, here's one more public service meme from KB6NU's blog (and supposedly from elsewhere, but that link is down):

If 2m is good, I suppose that 30m is even better. Will be off calling CQ on the 30m PSK-31 sub-band for a good chunk of this afternoon.
