    Installing a new VX-8R casing – waterproofed?

    I decided to make my 8R look new again and ordered parts from Yaesu. The Yaesu parts guy (can’t remember his name) sent me about 16 parts to swap the casing. WARNING: This is not for the faint hearted and it is very easy to make a mistake and screw up something. Unlike the Vx 1,2,3,6 & 7R, the...

    Yaesu VX-8r Review

    New TH-F6a arrived but...... Yes, the F6 arrived today. Funny thing, its hard going back. Could you imagine going back to using a modem? Seriously though, it's a close call. I think the VX8 has a better sounding speaker. I dislike the long charge cycle on the F6, there is no charging stand, it...

    Yaesu VX-8r Review

    VX-8R vs TH-F6A I sold my TH-F6A before receiving my VX-8R. Sorry I did since I did not get to test the radios side by side and I find myself missing some of the F6 features. For instance, the F6 receives sideband and CW, a full 5 watts on 220, the display is brighter and easier to see than...

    Yaesu FTM-350 Review

    Skysho you ARE a genius. I had my SSID in my VX-8 set to W4FTL. After I changed it to W4FTL-7 the 350 popup worked !!! Of course subsequent beacons did not come up since it was already in the list. I would mention there are other stations that do trigger the popup screen that also do not have...

    popups Skysho if you can't figure it out no one can! I am sure you will find it. Do you also notice other beacons coming in that also do not trigger the popup on the 350?

    Yaesu FTM-350 Review

    Dual receive FIXED Skysho sent me a couple of pics of his settings and I found the problem. Menu item E06, aprs mute, was ON. Turning it off solved the problem, now I am receiving on both sides at the same time. Why APRS mute would mute almost all freq is a puzzle, but that was it. Many...

    Dual receive OK......menu item E16, the APRS DATA BAND SELECT option.....when i change it R-band fix, THE AUDIO TURNS ON ON THE MAIN BAND. I don't understand these settings yet, but it does effect which side of the radio receives audio, but still cannot receive both sides at the same time...

    Yaesu FTM-350 Review

    Dual Receive on both sides not working I must be missing something, but am having trouble receiving audio on both sides simotaneously. I have menu item (sub band mute) A05 set to OFF. But what is happening is the MAIN band (when either left or right) is muted, no sound, while sound does work...
