Hey, I forgot to say, that of course you can also dirrectly enter freqs into 
the radio with the qsyer, although you can't call up particular memories, 
but you can, program mems into the radio, using vfo-to memory and the normal 
manual programming proceedure, which I've not really done, found it easier 
to figure out a list of freqs, and have a friend program them into 
memory...there's not really very accessible programming software, although 
there is a freeware program called ft817-commander.  gotta run, dd.
