It worked perfectly when I used it, but I haven't turned it on in probably 15 years or so. The Yaesu FT 65-R is an excellent radio for the price and the software allows you to open more options on the radio. The very first thing you should do before trying to program any channels is to test the software communications by trying to read the radio. A lot of people get stumped by this because they let windows make decisions when downloading the driver software and then there is no communication. You will also have to enter the software and pick out the correct communication port. You will still need the programming cable and when you download the software be extremely careful because you will need to download a driver for the cable ( Included in the Yaesu software download) to communicate properly via the USB port. I told him to just get the software and evidently most of the ham radio companies are selling this same software for over $25.00 and they know it's free on Yaesu's website. A friend of mine picked up a Yaesu FT 65-R a few weeks ago and needed coaching on how to enter channels, memories and more.
