How to Migrate to New Yaesu Firmware with Win4Yaesu

Installation and Release Notes: Version 1.452 (August 16, 2024)

Installation:  Please just click on the downloaded file. It will install in a new folder.  When you are happy you can uninstall the old version using the Windows control panel.  It is best if you temporarily disable any antivirus software. You can check the software at VirusTotal.com if you wish.

This release requires .NET 4.6 or later. In most cases this will already be installed if you allow Windows Update on Windows 10, 11 and Windows 7 and 8. However if not, when you start the install, Windows will automatically download and install the latest release of .NET.  It will then reboot your computer.

If your computer was rebooted, you will need to run the installation of Win4Yaesu again.   That will install the program as usual.

If you are using an AMD system, please logoff and logon after the installation.  You can uninstall previous releases at any time using the Windows control panel.

Important Note: Both the FTDX101D/MP and FTDX10 require the use of the USB port and NOT the RS232.  Yaesu has removed certain functionality from the RS232 port.  In addition, ALL Yaesu radios require external hardware to display a spectrum.  None of their radios will provide this without it.
