Hi Moleculo, After I sent that (thinking that it really made sense), I tried to do what he said, and alas, it did not work. I have re-sent him an e-mail asking for further directions, but at this time, it certainly looks like a bug in the firmware (from a user's perspective). Having...

Thanks guys, Yes, when I got it, the battery was almost dead, and it did take quite a while to charge. Probably close to the 5 hours. Looks like the 1st 'peripheral' that I'll get for the 8r will be the larger battery! Thanks again, Tim W5FN

Hi Guys, Just got an e-mail back from the tech support guys at Yaesu, and he said to use Set Mode 94 - Split PL coding. duh! Too many set modes!! Thought I'd let you all know in case you come across a wierd repeater. cu Tim W5FN

Hi Folks, Was using the 8R - 1st charge, and noticed about 30 minutes ago it had 'full bars' on the battery charge. Then I happened to look at it, and it was off, and would not turn on. I hooked it up to the charger, & it's charging ok, and will turn on. I guess the li-ion battery...

Hi Moleculo, Well, I reprogrammed the memory with no PL on rx & the desired PL on TX. At least I'm now able to key up the repeater properly. Now I just have to deal with the other stuff on the frequency! Did send an e-mail to Yaesu asking about it. Don't figure much will come of it...

Hi Moleculo, Thanks for trying it with the PC programming package - I was hoping it could have been done that way. Since my VX-5 could do it, I figured the Yaesu programmers in their infinite wisdom would have continued the tradition. Oh well! Repeater wise, Yeah, there's always one...

Hi Folks, Just got the 8R & have been playing. One of our repeaters has an odd split, plus a different TX/RX PL. I went through the Independent Storage, changing the PL for each. The RX works ok, and the TX puts out on the right frequency, but the PL is the same as the RX. Just...

Hi Folks, Sorry for any confusion - I was just wondering if the Yaesu BT headset would work for a cell phone. (If I'm gonna buy one of these things, I'd just as soon only purchase one). Operation wise: I think I read somewhere that you use the button on the headset for PTT... push...

Hi Folks, Contemplating the purchase of a VX-8 with Bluetooth. I've not purchased a headset for any of my cell phones, but was wondering if the BH2 or (A) version would pair with a cell phone. (dual usage - one at a time)! I've read the posts about pairing a non-yaesu headset with the...
