    Yaesu VX-8r mod - first on the internet!

    Worked perfectly. Thanks for the heads-up on the memory clear. A quick backup to the computer fixed that one. I would have had a whole months worth of new repeaters, etc. to fix without that tip. 73, Dillon W5DAA

    No joy when I push the MODE button. It just sits there on my info once I hit the BAND key. Any ideas? I'll keep trying on ARISS. Maybe I'll see you there.

    VX-8R. I'm not sure if I can see the routing on this radio. If I can, I don't know how. If I was on 145.825, could it still digipeat via land? Also, I know I got through ARISS because the folks 700 miles away copied me. Does that clear up or muddle the waters? I figured I probably just...

    Same here. I patiently listened to him talking to some kids at a school (couldn't hear their uplink) and then he called CQ New England. He eventually got one or two, though I missed his repeat-back of the calls. I couldn't get in, but the downlink was like listening to him in my living room...

    vx8r satellite help

    Thanks for all of the info y'all posted here. I rcvd multiple APRS msgs from ISS on 145.825. I couldn't get mine in there but I'm still holding out hope. Maybe the 3rd time will be a charm. I also heard CDR Wheelock finishing a school contact on 145.800 this afternoon. I tried to uplink on...
