YAESU FT5-DR LINUX CONNECTION FOR CHIRP

  1. You will need the RTSystems data cable. The included cable in the radio's box is not for data.
  2. Install Chirp-Next

  3. Creat a udev rule to fix the driver's detection. Check the path as this is not going to work aon Debian based distributions due to the pathing. This is tested on RHEL 9 and Fedora 39. use which to determine the binary path for modprobe and sh. Now, as root (sudo will not work as normally invoked). Paste the following onto one line into a file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-yaesu-ftdi.rules

    ACTION==”add”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”2100″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”9068″, RUN+=”/usr/sbin/modprobe ftdi_sio” RUN+=”/usr/bin/sh -c ‘echo 2100 9068 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id'”

  4. Restart udev

    udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger

  5. Unplug, and replug in RTSystems data cable.

  6. Use dmesg or "ls /dev/ttyUSB*" to verify device is added to the system and which one it is.
