vxu allows reading from and vxuw allows writing to a Yaesu / Vertex Standard VX-5R (and similar) handheld radios and the FT-817/FT-857 transceivers in "clone" mode.

vxur is a small program that receives data from a Yaesu radio in clone mode and saves it to a file. vxuw reads the specified file and sends it to the radio.

These command line utilities allow easy backup of the rig memory.

Completly freeware.

What's New:
modified vxur to not *require* an ACK from the final data block so it would work with FT-817/FT-857.
