Yaesu FT817/857 Soft Jump Software by VK2IT V0.2
by Peter May, VK2IT, vk2it@tpg.com.au
This program uses undocumented CAT commands to read or update the EEPROM
in the Yaesu FT817, FT857, and FT897 Radios. The soft jumper settings are stored
in location 4 and 5 of the EEPROM. Power the radio off and on to activate
the new settings. If you do a reset of the radio, you will have to run
this program again to rewrite the values
The program assumes that the radio CAT rate is set to 38400 baud
