![]() ![]() We received the VR5000 from a Yaesu dealer over six months ago. (and B.) a reprint of the Manual from a customer service person in Japan. To date we have been unable to get any support from Yaesu beyond one (a) a 3 sentence email from a gentlemen who made the suggestion that we do not place the radio in "auto mode" as the radio had an "allergy". After several attempts we (and the dealer) tried to get technical help from Yaesu USA. At the present we have a VR5000 in our facility, but have been unable to accomplish any consistent control of the radio. The only documentation we can get is in the Owner's manual and the three to four paragraphs are far from complete. So if you have an older model and we eventually DO produce software it may not work on all radios unless they have the upgrade. This "upgrade" fixes some of the problems in the older model VR5000. To further complicate matters Yaesu recently announced a "firmware upgrade" which costs $100.00. We are attempting to write a "software clone", but that is time consuming when you do not have a road map. Yeasu has flat refused to provide information on how to load or read the radio's memory's, saying it is "proprietary". In addition one of the commands does not function. So far we have not had much success with the VR5000 - the radio's firmware is apparently limited to 4 commands which are insufficient for computer control. ![]()
