Programming the Yaesu FT5DR Via SD card Quickly

[@BerrieSleijster]

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.

[@domin8ss]

@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.

How do you copy from a blank SD card????

[@dasnegotiator]

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.

Thank you that was very helpful!

[@mind_warp]

Your very welcome

Well done

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

[@mind_warp]

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?

[@mind_warp]

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.

[@colinlyne]

This not a good video! The edits are abrupt with loss of sound on occasions. The instructions are not at all clear. How does a blank sd card contain the radio info? How is it possible to show the programmed information contained in the radio, when it cannot be read by the computer?

[@fliprms]

not a boy, but thanks for the vid! helpful!

[@mind_warp]

No worries!

[@barryinn1778]

Your not very organized, and you are jumping around to much. Making it confusing to know Exactly where you are going, I assume this is windows?

[@malanalan1]

how about making a video instead of a vid?

[@mind_warp]

Lol, what is this supposed to mean?
