This is a frequently asked question in the VX_8GR Yahoo group. It is because the VX-8R is waterproof, and pressure builds up under the waterproofing membrane when it warms up. I don't know if there is a fix or if it is something you have to live with if you want it to be waterproof.
I had this file, but when I tried it I could not get into the alignment menu.
Someone sent me another version of these instructions, which included some extra steps. You have to enter a password into the CW ID menu field before you can get into the alignment menu. Unfortunately I lost these...
I had the same problem with a third party 2000mAH battery purchased here in Europe for use with my VX-8GR. I wasn't sure if the battery was thicker or the VX-8G because people with the -8R or -8DR said they had no trouble charging the extended battery in the desk charger.
Anyway I solved the...
The VX-8R has been superseded by the VX-8DR now, and joined by the VX-8GR.
It's a very expensive radio. You are paying for quad band capability as well as a high level of water resistance. Do you need these? Very few people find 6m useful on an HT. I can't speak for 220MHz as that isn't a...
I would agree. Having owned a K3 (S/N 222) for 3 years now I have had plenty of time to get to know it. There were times in the first couple of years especially when I was very frustrated with the radio and with Elecraft, particularly for the time it took them to implement all the features that...
I have just taken delivery of one of the new Albrecht AE 2990 AFS AM/FM/SSB handheld rigs in the hope of making some DX contacts while out and about portable during the Sporadic E conditions in the summer.
I forgot to mention when ordering that I was a licensed ham so I was pleased that the...
Nor did I. Martin Lynch & Son in the UK are still advertising them (they call it the Chapstick) so I assume they still have stock. Might be a good idea to order the 80m coil to go with my MP-1 while I still can.
The scripts built in to APRSIS32 assume that the TNC is disabled when the probram starts. You need to press the TNC button until neither APRS12 nor PACKET is showing at the top of the screen, then start the program, otherwise the scripts won't work.
Also you need to make sure that the serial...
Don't knock eBay. I buy nearly all my electronic parts through it now. It's the only place you can still buy single items without getting ripped off for exorbitant shipping charges.
I think this is what you need.
I don't know. You should try KComm, it's a bit fuller featured than the K3 Utility.
You should also make sure that the tones are not inverted. By default they are the wrong way round. Someone told me the menu option to change but I'm afraid I can't remember what it was.
