Good UI and design Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
As a old new ham from the 60's coming back into the fold, the world of VHF repeaters was foreign to me. It didn't take me long to see the tedium involved into programming my rig. Bob's software made life with my 7800 good again.

It's a pleasure to use and works consistently.
Highly recommend this if you have a 7800

Fabulous Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I have been using FTB7800 since it was introduced. I recently bought a second FT-7800 rig, so I decided to download the latest version of Bob's software. It's even better than before, he's tweeked this program to the point of perfection. Everything works as it should, it's intuitive and easy to use, even without reading the instructions. But there are time saving features that may not be too obvious, so reading the manual is worthwhile for the insight that it provides. This is an EXCELLENT bargain for US $18.50, it's worth every cent of its price, even if you program the rig only once. This software is a great addition to a fine rig, thanks Bob.

The following is my personal opinion: Bob, G4HFQ, has done a wonderful job with this software. Everything works as it should, and all of the features that anyone could wish for are included. FTB7800 is light-years ahead of that other Real Trash that is being offered by a different outfit. I would highly recommend Bob's software.

Excellent! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
For £10 you really can't go wrong here, it makes programming the FT-7800 an absolute doddle an appears to be bug free! I use an Icom interface I've re-wired for my VX-2 with a 3.5 stereo to a 6 pin mini-Din adaptor. The program can also import csv file from other programas such as VX2 commander so you only need have 1 master memory csv file for numerous rigs (I also use an FT-8900 for which a verison is also availabe)

If you aren't into constrution see http://g4zlp.co.uk/CATpage.htm for range of inexpensive interfaces and remember, Yaesu mobiles, VX handhelds and Icom seem to use the same interface, it's just the connectors that vary.

Simply great! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
The FTB7800 software is extremely painless to use. It's the only way to program a radio with this many memories and a real bargain at US$18.50!

Works like a champ! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
After kluging together a programming cable comprised of a surplus computer mouse and my home-brew Icom 706 programmer (level convertor) I sat down expecting to have to trouble-shoot the whole affair. Not necessary, worked first time. Software is intuitive and very thorough with access to all radio parameters - some I didn't even know existed.

Excellent Support! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Reported a minor bug and received a new version (1.0.9) to test in about 6-hours. WOW! That is outstanding customer support.

Great product and great support, you couldn't ask for more. Download the evaluation version and take a look.

You need this Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
If you have a rig with as many memories and features as the Yaesu FT-7800, you NEED memory management software. This program is just the thing. It is well laid-out, easy to use, and will have your radio fully programmed as fast as you can type in your frequency list. I read the reviews of this and the ADMS software, and took the advice. I bought RT's cable and G4HFQ's software and have been quite pleased.

Download the program and try it for yourself. Well worth the $18, and the unlock key will be sent immediately via email - no waiting for delivery!

Good Product Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I purchased the software last week and have been playing with it for the last few days. Impressive and functional. I can upload requency, power level, PL tones, and sort by frequency without problem. Easy to use. This is remarkable really for software that came out in April, 2004. There are a few glitches and I have written the author who quickly responded saying that he has re-created the first problem and is working toward a solution. I got an e-mail response from him in 3 hours! That's service. I expect the issues to be resolved shortly. Solid software. Makes the radio a joy to use.
