Yup, if trying to save a channel from vfo mode, the ht says "vfo mode error" instead of programming the channel in memory. It happens whether you're on vfo a or b, and it doesn't matter if it has offset, tones, etc. it just won't take.

I find it pretty damn solid. Obviously there is no "perfect" ht out there but for my applications, I think its about as good as it gets.

I had a similiar setup a ways back, I had to run a duplexer into the triplexer (basically it split my 2m/440 antenna line to separate 2M and 440 cables that went into the corresponding ports on the triplexer they shared above). then it comes out of that triplexer with one cable into your radio...

Thanks in advance for any tips and advice! I'm looking into the best/cheapest and most effective way to end up with a duplexer that would allow a 2M/440 antenna and a separate 800Mhz antenna to feed one transceiver. In my area I do a ton of work on 2M/440 in the mobile but also love...

Universal Radio Peep the accessories here, though they're certainly not cheap they're definately well under list price and its $99 for the 1880 mAh

I'm going to attempt to replace the resistor today using a hot air rework station and some syringe dispatched solder paste. I'll try to post pictures and the results later.

just ordered the 22kOhm resister from digikey that matches the one used in the unit from the factory (except for the value). Any tips on soldering it in? removing them seems straight forward enough but I've never added SMD components before. I hear there is certain resin paste that is helpful....

Yes, I'm assuming that it is the european version because the two I just bought new at HRO only have #5,6 & 7 I just removed them and will reset and see what they've done to confirm.

Here's a quick and dirty rundown I just did of it, let me know what else you'd like to see.! enjoy YouTube of ID-31

I just started the Yahoo Group for the ID-31 hoping it'll be a wonderful resource online of support and information Please support by joining if you're interested in the ID-31 or own it Join Here!! Thanks!

I grabbed one yesterday before a trip back east figuring I'd make use of the gps and preprogrammed database.....I like the concept here but I need a few days to dig in a give you some real impressions, I haven't been super thrilled with the gps yet....but let's see how it performs this week
