    Do you have any links for a "how to?"

    VX-8DR - which extended battery?

    Realistically, I wouldn't worry about it. Sure the "water", itself, is a conductor, and if completely submerged, will short out. But if you are like most of us, you might drop it in the water, quickly retrieve it, take the battery off, shake everything as dry as you can, swear a few times...

    Interesting Cell Phone Booster

    I have used one of these, for about 5 years. Dual-Band (800/1900 MHz) Mobile Wireless (801201) Product Details It is definitely the best "Cel Phone Money" that I have ever spent. I am all over the U.S. and most of the time in remote locations. The only place that it was useless, was...

    Ts-450sat opinions?

    I don't want to sidetrack this thread, but I thought that I read in one of your other/older threads, that you already owned an IC7000. Isn't that radio living up to all of these question/your needs? Just curios as to how/why things changed.....

    TS-590 AM Broadcast Mod.

    Yes, different radio, but I interpreted your confusion to be the same as mine. I thought that Vanilla was telling me "to get R done."

    TS-590 AM Broadcast Mod.

    I found the same frustration, when I was going to mod my radio. I don't know how similar our radio situations are, but the pictures displayed, of my radio, were the European version. Of course, it looked different, when I split the cases. Good luck......

    Yaesu VX-8r VFO B Stuck in Duplex Mode

    I have had RT Systems software and cable make my VX8 do the same thing. Then I had to do a hard reset and reload. Then the RT Systems caused some type of bug that made the Transmission power be reduced. It still received, but wouldn't transmit. I did a Hard reset, while volunteering and in...

    VX-8DR - which extended battery?

    I also have had good luck, with the Batteries America, 2000mAh. Plus, the older couple that work at/own had great customer service. I think that I paid $40 plus about $6 shipping, instead of the current price. They are, probably, the same manufacture, though.

    IC-2820 Firmware Update?

    Thanks for posting/getting back to me. I am hoping for some way to "grasp" what's going on with the radio. I have posted, on this forum, a number of other questions, but I am still frustrated. I was hoping that there was a Firmware update that changed the "menu-ing", "display"...
