Im wondering if anyone has attempted, or figured out how, to make the software TNC in the Yaesu FTM-350AR's work as a regualr TNC. Currently the TNC is not Bidirectional, via external devices. The data port will only output information to my laptop, it will not allow for manipulation via the...

Now, I will be into the arduous process of RE-CAPPING this whole radio. Im going to also hit up some of the other components as well. Just as good measure. Probably replace the MB chip with one for expanded use.

I built a 2.5" extention to go between the upper wip and the center load, and it brought the SWR dip down to exactly 27Mhz. This gives me room to tweak it. so somewhere the wip was motified or the antenna was ment for 10m to begin with. I will be hooking the radio up to a frequency counter to...

It perplexes me...

No thats not the antenna, Ill take a pic and post it up. The center coil is round like an egg. The bottom shaft is solid, but has locking "collar Nuts" on it, allowing for about 1/2" adjustment on either end. So the length is between 11" and 12". The top is 48" long EXACTLY. Im going to put...

Iv had the antenna hooked up to a RigExpert AA-520, and the SWR dips to 1.1:1 at roughly 28Mhz. So it needs to be longer. Im just not sure about the adjustment. as the lower leg of the antenna is adjustable too...

Iv picked up an antenna, Center loaded Magmount antenna. Its about 63" in total length. The bottom leg is 11" long, and the top wip is about 48" long. The center load coil is a BIG black egg. Its marked with the cobra lable and snake logo on the center load coil. Its all black, and I can not for...

So, Iv picked up this TRC-450. And the first thing I noticed was that it seemed unmolested. However... it still has its problem. There is a LOUD popping when the channel is changed, and a pretty loud buz. It sounds like ignition noise... but there is no ignition.. Its in my shack. And this is...

Very interesting. Im ordering up 2 myself. Im going to try and build them into a wearable device to mount on the back of a Body Armour Plate Carrier, to be descrete and yet still useable.

Over the last year my radios receive has been becoming more and more suspect. It started off with some minor picket fencing. But has now progressed to very weak receive. The reports I get about my TX are 599. How ever the same stations that are receiving me are weak, choppy, and static plagued...

WOW! that is blatant.

I ran into the same issue, my FTM-350AR came with version 1.5 I was told how ever that the panel version 1.1 needed to be updated... After the update I was at version 1.3, and still at pannel version 1.1.. Not happy after that at all. do you notice any diferences between the 1.3 and the 1.6?

After some more research and calling to Yaesu again, i still cannot get it to function as a proper band scope. How ever... The tech I spoke with at the support center, said that there have been a rash of questions about this very issue. And that the dev team is looking into making it function...

Iv got an FT-60R with the USB programing cable and software, also a whip antena that does WAY better then the rubber duck. All orginal packaging and paperwork. You can have it all for $200 + shipping.

Nice, Where did you find this??

The stop, STOPS the band scope. Like a freeze frame. It SHOULD continue to function while listening. As we all know signals are not constant, so freezing it is like a snap shot in time. No good for scanning. But thank you for brining this up.

Just got off of the phone with Yaesu Tech support, and they said they have never run into this and never noticed the problem. They said it doesn't make sense. You need the band scope to tune the hard to hear signals, but if your tuning it and cant hear it, how do you know your not missing what...

Moleculo, Brian, Thank you. I have been trying to get it to do this for almost 2 weeks now. I have found pictures on the internet of it in in dual mode, with both receivers in band scope mode, UN-Muted. How ever... getting mine to do this has been a REAL hassle too. Today Im going to call...

This is what I see now, You'll notice that both receivers are muted.
