Once you enter in a digipath how do you delete it, for the life of me I can't get it to delete one.

Yeah, I ran into that too. I just blanked out the digipath using spaces. To get the spaces, hit 0 (zero) twice.

In Digi Path the zero only gives me zeros, not spaces on the second push. I think this is definately a bug in the firmware. I did get a message back from Tech support at Yaesu telling me just to overtype it which is fine except I don't need that path at all.

I thought it should just use the digi path that you selected so I have the following;

1 Wide1 -1
2 Wide2 -1
3 Wide2 -2
4 SONT2-2 (for Southern Ontario)

I set it on 3 Wide2-2 pushed PTT and assumed that it would use 3 Wide2 -2, to my surprise when I got home and checked on APRS it showed my path as Wide2-1, Wide2 -2, SONT2 -2 sumoptimal path (because it send on so many paths). Now there is no way that I know of to get them out.

If you want to see search for VE3HTU-7.

This is a problem, I think.

I haven't received another response from Yaesu since giving them more info and clarifying the issue.

I really don't want to do a factory reset. I really hope RT Systems gets the programing software out soon, hopefully you could change it via the software if not you could just do a factory reset then restore all your settings and memories.

hehe...yeah don't do that As you found out, it uses all of the entries.

While editing the path, can you rotate the dial to get to the space character?

Yeah, I hate editing stuff on HTs by pressing the number buttons a million times. I'm looking forward to some sofware soon, too.

Nope there seems to be no way to get a space while in the Digi Path menu. I just tested work around that seems to work and APRS likes. Basically you go into the paths that you don't want and enter all zeros. This definitely is a bug but seeing as Yaesu doesn't have a computer interface cable, I can't see how they can fix it even with a firmware update.

Other than this problem, which is minor, I really like this radio.

I didn't have the radio with me when I replied earlier, but I picked it up and tested the same thing. Hitting zero twice doesn't work on this screen on mine, either. However, I can turn the dial to get a space, then go to the next position and do the same thing. That must be what I did to clear one of the paths I was messing with.

Now I'm really puzzled because I get no spaces when rotating the dial it goes right from numbers to letters qhilw Im in the digi path menu.

Turn the dial counter clockwise. In Between 0 and Z I get a space.

Mine goes directly from Zero to Z and at the other end goes from 9 to A in the Digi Path menu.

I just had to write it out?
