I guess I am hitting all the weird use cases and glitches this week with my new Yaesu VX-8DR. It seems the VX-8DR can't handle the STEP needed to accept my local Fire Department's frequency of 155.9475. I guess I just have to go with 155.95?
I just got the ADMS-VX8 SW from Yaesu from my local dealer. I gave some thought to what I'd like to have in which bank, and I thought I'd enter a few freqs beyond the 4 or 5 local repeaters I had entered manually. I was surprised when I went to enter the first frequency I'd like to have which is Dispatch for our local Fire Department. It's 155.9475..."Enter A Valid Receive Frequency" says the ADMS/RT Systems SW...? The VX-8DR spec sheet says 137-174 is OK...hhmmmm. The other 20 I entered went in fine....155.175, 154.13, 153.95- all with either DCS/DPL or CTCSS Tone Squelch and alpha labels.
I did try inputting the frequency directly to the radio and it doesn't like it so much either, but rounds it off. It seems I can get closer to the freq by varying the STEP but no way to get right on freq huh?
