Monoband...
After I stumbled upon it, I went to the front of the manual to see what it said about the button - not very clear...Dual Receive? Then they call it 'monoband' later... Love the radio - the manual was written on someone's coffee break! Thanks for replying - any word on your rig?
Monoband display
p. 13, Enhanced mode shows it and talks about monoband scope but I can't find the procedure to get into monoband display mode. Where did I miss it?
Thanks!
I am unable to set the correct time on my VX-8R. I follow the procedure on p. 120 of the manual but when I press the PTT to save the settings the radio exits the Menu mode and continues to display the wrong time.
Ideas?
Howard
Odd, I saw the rest of your post in the thread alert RE: your display question but not here...guess you edited it out. In case you missed it, look here:

Anyone experience the radio lockup described on eHam? Required a hard reset. Also, how about an update on the suction cup mount. Is it viable or problematic?
Thanks again!
Moleculo - thanks for your continued review efforts. Your comprehensive review and detailed information and pictures are immeasurably valuable to anyone interested in this rig. The negative eHam comment(s) are not in line with your experience and I was frustrated not to find any reviews until...
