FTM-400 Programmer
FTM-400 Programmer is a Mac radio programming utility used to manage memory channels and menu settings for the Yaesu FTM-400 series.
What is FTM-400 Programmer?
FTM-400 Programmer is a native Mac utility for configuring Yaesu FTM-400 series amateur radios from a computer. It is sold by RT Systems as the ADMS-M400 programming software for the FTM-400D/XDR and is designed to help radio owners edit memory channels, adjust menu settings, and transfer configuration data between the radio and the Mac. Common tasks include organizing channel lists, changing digital and analog operating options, and preparing data for import to the radio by cable or MicroSD card. The software is intended for amateur radio users who want faster, more structured editing than working through the radio’s front-panel menus. It fits best into a radio setup workflow where users maintain saved programming files, update settings over time, and keep backup copies of their radio configuration.
Key features
- Edit memory channels and radio menu settings from a Mac
- Read the current configuration from the radio for editing

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is specialized radio programming software for configuring a compatible Yaesu transceiver. Access to radio data and connection drivers is normal for this kind of tool, and some setups may require installing or approving USB cable drivers on macOS. Keep backups of your saved radio configuration before making large changes so you can restore working settings if needed.
Recommendation: Keep FTM-400 Programmer if you use a Yaesu FTM-400 radio or maintain programming files for one. If you no longer use that radio model, you can remove the app without affecting macOS, but you may want to keep any saved programming files as a backup of your channel and settings data.
