CHIRP

Yaesu is going through a big push to get lots of analog repeaters to be upgraded to support their new System Fusion combined analog /digital radios. Essentially they're offering the new repeaters for $500 if a club can guarantee to get them on the air replacing a well used old analog one. Unlike Icom's DStar or other digital systems, a System Fusion repeater can handle both analog and digital users on the same repeater.

Thus a lot of people are going to want to migrate their existing radio memories to Yaesu's new digital/analog radio's, such as the popular FT-400DR which has 500 memories. Obviously, users will have to tweak the migrated memories afterward , but getting the frequencies and names in would be a big help.

Having this radio supported will open up a whole venue for CHIRP.
