If you could do a session on the memory functions that would be great. Other than the basic memory channel function, I find all of those other memory functions very confusing. Like the PMS, home channel, and how to access all the preset receiver memories. How to scan for a busy channel, and then how to place it into an open memory slot from the radio. Also the with the scan function, how to mark for skip, and to unskip. Thanks! Darrell KX4EMT
This video is FANTASTIC! I spent 4 hours trying to get CHiRP and the RTSystems software for the FT3D working, no luck. Why? The programming cable that comes with the radio isn't a programming cable! Thank You MorernHam! ADMS does seem to work. Now I just have to transfer the rest of my channel list (that I use for other HTs) into ADMS, save it to the MicroSD, upload it into the FT3D's memory and all should be good. BRILLIANT!😃
Thank you brother... I just spent hours pulling my hair out, couldn't think what I was doing wrong... turns out that I wasn't loading, modifying and reloading the backup file. Just randomly creating files, lol.
Thanks for the video. I just got a new FT3D and programmed it with the Yaesu software after watching just now. I have watched all your other FT3D videos, and really appreciate your help. I'll try to watch your feed next Sunday. Love this radio so far. Keep the videos coming. Darrell KX4EMT, Lenoir City, TN.
Tried installing the device driver to no avail. Thanks to your video, I don't have to. For a while there I was already considering buying the expensive software/cable package. You certainly saved me a lot of $$$! Truly appreciate it. YOU THE MAN!
Ti ringrazio, mi è stato molto d'aiuto questo tutorial, anche se non capisco l'inglese, sono riuscito a programmare guardando il tuo video e trasferire le memorie tramite la SD card sul mio FT3D, Grazie ancora 73 from Italy and Happy Christmas!!! IK5IVV
Thanks for the video! This is exactly what I was looking for. I have been having problems trying to get mine programmed with the SD card but this explains it. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this Video, I did buy the RT cable and program then when I upgraded to windows 11 it would not work. Once they started supporting 11 I could not find my cable. This video saved me from having to buy it again and shame on my local shop for telling time I needed it when I was getting started in HAM.
That's a good point I have against RT Systems. It's marketed so hard that one would think it's required, and very expensive if you take into account all of the cables and versions.
Fantastic! Thank you for explaining what Yaesu should have. Your cable vs. sd card explanation saved me. Thank you!!! 73 KO4HRE (Kentuckian Outdoors 4 Ham Radio Excitement)
thank you very much. i have managed to program my FT3DR just fine using this method. i have subscribed and will continue to watch your vids. thanx again.
Thanks for the video. I still might purchase the RT system software (minus the cable and just use the ST card) just because it has the external resources you can import like repaterbook etc but I was successful with this too.
Excellent video, thanks! I tried this method at first using an older 2gb micro SD card, the radio would not accept the new BACKUP.dat file. After I replaced the older SD card with a new 32gb SD card, the radio read the file with no problems. Again, thanks for doing these videos and putting out helpful content!
Great video. I'm confused though. I also have the FTM-400. I have all of my digital frequencies loaded on band A and my analog frequencies loaded on band B. How do you designate which Band (A or B) that you want a particular channel loaded into on the FT-3DR using ADMS-11 software?
This is my first radio I purchased last week. Do I need to use the firmware cable to make updates out of the box, like a computer (sorry if this sounds silly)? Appreciate the short informative video!! 73 KO4NCL
Just an FYI, the SD card you link in the info won't work with the FT3DR. I tried it. The radio can use a 32GB SD, maximum. I got a cheap 32GB Samsung and that one worked.
Hello... was just trying 2 different micro cards... the radio doesn't recognize them. But both are 128 gb... so I see the problem now... I will get a 32
Good video. Tried downloading the .zip file onto my Mac...OK. Attempted to unzip using the Archivezip option; dialogue came back at me with "File format unsupported". Wonderful. Could get Betterzip as suggested but you have to pay for that. Might just go the RT route. Any ideas?
Any tips/way to import local repeaters like you can with CHIRP? Or a way to export from chirp and import into ADMS so you don’t have to manually enter?
Good video; so pretend like it is a MS product and do a hard reboot ;) Regardless, thanks for stepping through the process - I figured it wasn't too complicated, but it always good to see it. I wonder if the lock has something to do with the size of the sd card? I thought I had read 32gb was the max. Regardless, thanks again!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I'm having trouble with the radio changing the CTCSS pl tones when I put them in either via the programing software or by doing it by hand. It seems to have a mind of its own. Any help greatly appreciated..
Is there a way of programming ADMS so that the bank memories are hidden from your regular memories? I hate how you have to spin the dial to get past all the stored bank memories.
I've used an FT2DR for several years. I've upgraded to the FT3DR. However, transferring memory from FT2 to FT3 has me baffled. This video is great for programing one or the other, but how to transfer data between them?
Does the FT3DR have to ha e a proprietary data cord in order to connect to the cause I keep getting a time out error and the computer says that the ft3dr is unrecognizable?
I am recently retired from, among other things, an aerospace engineer and a graphics designer, using Mac OS exclusively, but since ADMS can't be used on a Mac I guess I'll go with RT.
Thanks for the tutorial! Everything worked great for me until reading from the SD card. I tapped okay, and it says NOT COMPLETED every time. I can't figure it out! Any help out there?
@@sonofahyderite6855 yes, kind of. Import the file from the FT3D first, type over it and send it back. Make sure to save a copy to your computer for later. For some reason, you can't just send a file to the radio without importing first from the radio. Just out of curiosity, did you update your firmware? I'm wondering if the update has the error with it.
@@sonofahyderite6855 hmm, I don't know what it is then. I had updated my firmware before trying downloaded memory channels, so I don't have a comparison for it like it worked like in this video. That's the only work around I've found though for our issue, unfortunately.
Seems like I've seen the ability to download a mass list of local repeaters off repeaterbook.com and then mass copy/paste into the listing. Is this possible with the Yaesu software or no?
Nice job. I always baffled by how terrible Yaesu is at software though. They clearly rely on people spending the extra €40 or so on RT Systems, which when you have already spent a fair chunk on a radio is a bit hard to swallow. Funny how a crappy €25 Baofeng manages to have working software and yet Yaesu can't.
Great video, very good explanation how to do it. My FT-3de always give me the error message "incomplete". I turned it of, replaced the battery .. no effect. Does anyone have a idea how to fix it? 73 DG7FEK
Ley me know what part you need help understanding and I will try to answer your question. We made a backup of the radio, programmed the backup file, and restored it onto the radio.

TN here too... just got a FT3DR
Thanks Billy, I don't have reason to update my memory card often, but when I do, this is my "go-to" spot that helps me to recall just how to do it.
Thank you Dan! I find myself coming back to this video as well every once in a blue moon when I have to do mine as well.
Thanks for the video @ModernHam. Just got a FT3DR and now to figure it out and get channels programmed in.
Tried installing the device driver to no avail. Thanks to your video, I don't have to. For a while there I was already considering buying the expensive software/cable package. You certainly saved me a lot of $$$! Truly appreciate it. YOU THE MAN!
Your FT-3D guides have helped me so much. No other video guide compared to this. Thank you. 73's
Glad I could help!
Another great video - Thank you for your diligent efforts to the community!
My pleasure!
Excellent video. All worked first time, no freeze ups. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the video. You are the GURU on Yaesu FT3D and Satellites. Thanks for saving me some bucks.
Excellent (hidden knowledge!!), you’re a star, thank you.
Thanks for the video! This is exactly what I was looking for. I have been having problems trying to get mine programmed with the SD card but this explains it. Thanks!
Great video. I now know why I can't connect via the cable.
Pretty cool tutorial Billy! A lot cheaper to do then to use RT Systems.
Thanks for this, couldn't get my PC to connect with the radio no matter what I tried, this trick solved the problem, Thanks
Glad I could help!
Thank you for the great information and taking the time to make this video!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks couldn't make this USB cable working grrr. Glad I found your vid.
Thank you for this video, I spent days trying to figure everything out, and just was finally able to get it working!
Thanks! You just saved me from buying some expensive cables!

I'ts a nice tool, just a little too expensive for some.
Top man you have saved me £50 as as you mentioned everything points to RT Systems and I didn’t want to spend the extra on programming the handheld 👍
Great video. It helped me to finally get my radio programmed.

I'm using Macbook.When I clicked on setup.exe, it said only PC supported
could you explain how to do firmware update with cable( it does not work for me)?
Note: For anyone purchasing a memory card, from the FT3D manual micro-SDXC memory cards are not supported.
I did get a 32GB SDHC and that worked.
Can you buy a programming cable from Yaesu? Great video.
Thank you for all the info , would this work on a new MacBook? Catalina ?
Couldn't tell ya. I've never owned a macbook.
Any tips/way to import local repeaters like you can with CHIRP? Or a way to export from chirp and import into ADMS so you don’t have to manually enter?

Won't work for me, been hours going over the same method, just will not update the sd card, says its done it, but nothing changes......
Works on chirp
Tnx
Thanks for the info! KN4CFT
Yaesu should be embarrassed by this ADMS software, it's horrible, non-intuitive and buggy. No wonder people use RT Systems!
This tells me nothing about how to program the radio from computer
Ley me know what part you need help understanding and I will try to answer your question. We made a backup of the radio, programmed the backup file, and restored it onto the radio.
He does, specifically @ 1:40-2:00
you are one goofy dude. need to work on your audio
