Paul;

Try Ham Radio Deluxe by Simon Brown HB9DRV.  It's like adding a big front panel to your Yaesu Radio. You can preset frequencies, modes, etc. Save the setups in the radio to use without the computer or in files to recall at any time.  Many bells and whistles including  a super multi-channel PSK program are integrated into this one application.  It is full-featured, yet relatively simple to use.  PC interface help is available at http://www.ham-radio.ch/doc/Interfaces.pdf and on the Ham Radio Deluxe Yahoo web group.

Simon (aka GD4ELI) lives in beautiful Luux, in the canton of Graubunden, Switzerland:
