When I received my Baofeng UV-5R, I also received a programming cable so I downloaded the free CHIRP software for programming the HT. When I looked at all the radio options, I saw it also programmed the three other radios that I also have, The Kenwood TM-281, Yaesu 857, and FT-8900.

I ordered the cable for the FT-8900 and learned how to program the radio using the Chirp software.

When I first ordered the cable to program the Yaesu FT-8900R, I didn’t realize just how to work it. So, like I do with my Kenwood and Baofeng, I plugged in the cable and turned on the radio…..

The Yaesu doesn’t work that way. The radio immediately went into transmit until I turned it off again!

I returned the cable as defective and ordered another one. When I received it, the new cable did the same thing. Then I talked to another ham on one of the local repeaters who corrected me in how to use it.

  • To put the 8900 into clone mode, you have to
  • turn off the radio,
  • plug in the cable, then,
  • while pushing and holding the V/M button,
    • turn it on.
  • Rotate the right frequency knob until you see
    • “Clone Start”
  • Press the Menu Key
    • (the small square button in the middle)

The first time you use a radio with Chirp, you have to have Chirp download from the radio.

In chirp,

Select “Radio”

“Download from Radio”

Choose the correct COM port

Choose “Yaesu” for Vendor

Choose FT-8900 for the radio.

This is where your timing is critical. It takes practice…. You only have about 1/2 to 1 second to press both buttons

In Chirp, press OK

THEN

On they 8900, press V/M immediately after.

…. and wait…………

My desktop (not the fastest computer in the world) takes 3 to 5 minutes to transfer to and from the Yaesu.

It works much more quickly on my Kenwood TM-281 and Baofeng radios which only have up to 127 memory locations, but the 8900 has 800 memory locations, so it takes 5 to 8 times as long to transfer.

I have a copy of ADMS software for programming the Yaesus, but it is so old, it is on a floppy. I don’t have a floppy or a CD drive, so I can’t use it.

Chirp doesn’t allow you to change any specialty frequencies such as the Hyper-Memories and range frequencies, but those can easily be set by hand on the radio.

One of the best features I like about Chirp is it’s ability to download frequencies from RepeaterBook.com. It has a proximity setting, so I set it to 75 miles and downloaded all repeaters. The frequencies, offsets and tone requirements were all added in just seconds.

Afterwards, I checked each of the repeaters early in the morning while propagation was still good and deleted the ones I couldn’t hit.

Because it has so many memories available, I also included all the FRS, GMRS, MURS, and WX frequencies so I can monitor any of them as desired.

Because this radio banks the memories so I can scan certain groups, I can program the local public service frequencies into one section and the ham into another. I can choose which bank to scan so I it’s pretty versatile.
