Thank you for the suggestion ; I already knew about this option, but have intentionally chosen not to use it. Once the VIP/PID is changed, it will no longer work with the Windows app that came with the cable to program the radio (Yaesu FT-897d). When I choose to sell the radio, then I want to be able to sell this cable/software with the radio. I also have a laptop (infected with Windows 7) which I use when I take the radio out for "Field Day" every June. I know I can change the FTDI chip back to it's original configuration, but I am assuming there is a limit to the number of times it can be changed.
