Programming Yaesu VX-6

[cactusjk]

Looking for recommendations on how to program my VX-6. Software, cables, etc.

I use the excellent VX6 Commander software:

It's free but he asks for a donation if you like it.

I got cables and a USB interface from http://www.ttl2usb.com/

I have heard that this is a good way to go!

What specific cables/USB interface do I need to order from them for the VX 6?

Excellent advice! You will like it alot! I do.

TTLUSB has changed the interface a cables a little since I bought mine. But I am pretty sure you need CT-2 and CT-29A

Looks like the CT-2, CT-29A and I need to get a CT-91 cable elsewhere. While I am at it I will also get the CT-29C for my Yeasu 7800! Thanks!

Got programming software for the 7800 yet? The FTB7800 is excellent. Great deal at $15.

Actually, I was just thinking about that! No as of now. Is it a good idea to also get it for the 7800?

step 1: Put on your glasses, you will need them to see that little radio.

Got the software. Now need recommendations on how to set up the memory for AZ/UT/CA. I primarily drive around Tucson, Flagstaff, Phoenix.
