YAESU FT-60 Computer Interface?

[KF5LJW]

Hope this is the right Forum Topic Area for this question(s).

I attended Ham Fest in Plano TX a few weeks ago and purchased a Yaesu FT-60 HT. Really like it so far except for 1-thing, PROGRAMMING. It is not hard, just very time consuming.

So my question is there software and hardware that will allow me to program the radio via my computer? I suspect there is because the radio can be Cloned using a cable through the external mic/speaker jack. Can someone tell me what I need?

All you need is the Commander software, the cable, and a computer running Win XP...not sure if Commander will run on Win 7 or not.

It's all on eBay.

I purchased all my software and cables from RT Systems... I have four Yaesu's and I had to buy software for all of them, but the cable for the FT-270 also works with the FT-60.
