Hi, I have received 2 programming cables (one for my VX-3R and another one for my VX-8R). Before buying a software I'd like to know if there exists a programming software which supports both HT's. Thanks in advance. Cheers. Cyrille

Just received the CAT460 antenna... Will probably test it next week on my VX-8R (first need to Mod it to Tx on marine channels). Then I will compare the signal with my Icom marine VHF.

Hi, I would like to introduce myself. C y r i l l e, living in the Netherlands, relatively new to HAM radio, but continuously learning. I love scubadiving, boating, skiing... in a nutshell outdoor activities. I own 2 rigs: - IC-M71 for dive/boat emergencies - VX8R So I may have...

Just ordered the CAT460 antenna. Trust it should do it.

Hi, Even if a mods would be possible, that would not be very practical to use, would it? Get an amateur radio transceiver, learn how to use it, pass the ham exam, then mods it.

Hi, Receiving? The VX-8R receives the Marine band perfectly. And I like the fact that Marine Channels are pre-programmed. :) Transmitting? Should I need to transmit using my VX-8R (e.g. in case my marine VHF handhled transceiver is not working) I am convinced that the antenna from the...

Hi, I've heard from some Ham's that the bluetooh module supplied by Yaesu for the VX-8R (BU-1) would only work with Yeasu's headsets. Is it really true? Thanks in advance
