Worthwhile software for my FT-897 Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I had been looking for a memory mangement program for some time when I came across this program. Whilst you couldn't actually demo the product for real, I took the plunge and spent the massive sum of £10 to get a registered copy.

I must say I am quite impressed. The software makes managing memories a breeze. It is particually useful for the 2M & 70cms modes where you can pre-program all repeater information into the transciever. The software has another advantage that when you wideband the FT-897, you loose your automatic repater shift - this software fixes that.

I had some technical set up questions which I emailed to Bob - the man responsible for writing the program. I have to say his service time / and response was brilliant.

I can confidently say that the price of this product is very reasonable and the after sales service is first class.

Top-Notch Yaesu FT Software Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
This easy to use and well documented program makes managing channel memory and setup of (in my case) the Yaesu FT-857 a real pleasure. After downloading the evaluation version, I contacted the author, Bob, and purchased a license for the 857 for a very reasonable sum. After installing the key, I literally plugged the radio into the PC comm port using an G4ZLP interface and was connected instantly. The GUI walks you through the procedure to download the connected radio ... a complete no-brainer of an operation and no referring to "help" files neccesary. The channel mapping page is well-laid out in the GUI and easy to navigate ... nothing mysterious here either! Also, importing of CSV files actually works, unlike some others out there! Software that is instantly usable and stable is a rarity and it seems that FTBasicMMO is one of those rare gems.

Top notch program Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
FTbasicMMO saves all that fiddling with buttons on the rig to save memories, splits, CTCSS codes etc and also enables you to import .csv files from databases of repeaters, beacons etc

Bob G4HFQ is very helpfull and responds immediately to any query.

I cannot reccomend this program highly enough
