This is just a quick and dirty overview of how to program the Yaesu FT5DR via the SD card method.
NOTE: I know my camera stinks I'll work on making it better for future Vids.
You can find the programming software here: www.yaesu.com/indexVS.cfm?cmd...

HI! Tnx for your help. But though i can't get it to work. When i would like to overwrite the backup file i get a error that it isnt possible to write (to my sd card) Do you also know where the usb cable (included by radio) isnt work for writing to the radio?

I wish I'd seen this video a week ago. I'm new to amateur radio. I would've saved over $100 had I known. I bought SD cards, cables, and software for the FT5D and FTM-500DR.

I'm sorry to hear that. I still program my radio this way. Also I would try to hold out on any new hear for the next generation. They should start rolling out with type-c.

@mind_warp thanks for the heads up. I'm not planning on buying anything else for awhile. I am eyeing a DMR radio for a backup when shtf, but I see no need right now. I need to learn what I have before I start getting into new projects.

I’m gonna get a new card. When I read from sd it locks my radio up in a loop. The data does transfer but I have to insert the charge cable or remove the battery to restart the radio.

Are you able to copy memories from an FTM - 300 to a FT-5DR? Just curious.

So I am not sure I don't own the ftm-300.

i have an issue having this walkie, when i read the backup it says not completed, and didnt do nothing, any suggestion?

I would try formatting the card as to clear any files already on the card the reinstall the card in the radio. Once you have done that I would create a backup from the radio to create the file system on the card. Once that is done if you still can't get it to work on your PC the I would completely remove both the software and drivers then reinstall from yeasu's website following there steps. If this does not help you then I could shoot you a discord invitation and try to walk you though the process. Keeping in mind that I am no expert on the possess and this was just a tips video on how I managed to get mine working.

MURS and MARS are two different things. you do not need a MARS mod to talk to MURS. MURS is a license free service. kinda like GMRS.

@ExtremeSquared Жыл бұрын

"MARS mod" is already sort of a misnomer, because nobody does it for actual MARS use. But there are plenty of radios that do in fact lock down MURS frequencies until you do a MARS mod.

@@ExtremeSquared You are correct, My apologies. I was actually not aware that the ft5dr had gmrs and murs frequencies locked. I never tried them. foot in mouth moment i suppose.
