[Hamlib-developer] Newbie Questions

[Aaron M. <tu...@am...>]

Hi,

I've just taken delivery of a nice Yaesu FT-8900R (quad band) and was loo=
king=20
for bits on the net when I stumbled upon your site.=20

I downloaded and (successfully!) installed the 1.1.3 version, but am miss=
ing a=20
cable to try anything with.  I will have to make one up soon.

While I have limited Linux experience, I have done some programming / web=
=20
stuff and am keen to help where I can.

* My radio does not support the "CAT" software that Yaesu has with some o=
f=20
their radios, and the Yaesu AMDS system does not yet support the FT8900 (=
I=20
suspect it will eventually.)  So, am I wasting my time without the CAT st=
uff,=20
or can the ham-libs talk to my radio?=20

Cheers, 73
