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

EchoMac is a program originally written by Steven Palm, N9YTY, to provide Macintosh OS X access to the EchoLink network for amateur radio VoIP. It builds a Cocoa GUI around the echoLinux backend. I am the current maintainer. Support questions not answered by the Help files are best addressed to the echomac-users mailing list.
