Yaesu 2980r/e Programming

So I’ve been using the smart scan feature for a few days and I’ve found it to be a bit tedious. My radio is mounted on the console of my SUV (with zip ties) because I couldn’t bring myself to do anything that would in any way damage the interior. In this configuration, the display is not facing me and not visible without taking my eyes off of the road. I didn’t have the desire to manually program in all of the repeater frequencies so I ordered the special Yaesu programming cable and software. It took a few minutes to read through the instructions and then I was able to upload all of the Massachusetts repeater frequencies in a few seconds. I could not be more satisfied with this process.
