That's great news Thanks KE7Tuesday That's great news. I'll order the blutooth card tonight. The several times that I've needed my radio for work, the environment has been very noisy and there is so much person to person communications going on that I don't hear the radio. The blue...

Sorry Sorry for my previous post. I just read the other thread and now I understand that I must purchase the RT software, load my local freqs and then upload to this thread. I will do so promptly and post to this thread. Marc Duncan

Raleigh Area Freqs Mole, I do not have a programer software for my vx-8r. But I do have an excel file of the local freqs. Is this what you're intending or is this almost as good? I can cut-n-paste like a banche if I had the software though. If you offer me a little guidence I'll...

We're cooking with gas now! Maybe we could build the data base on this forum? Organize it by regions, zip codes and over laid with service funtion types. We could all contribute and download the prgrams for the area of interest. As much as I travel, that would be really cool and a...

That's great news! I would be interested in purchasing software that was pre-loaded and programmed. Is anyone aware of a product or service that provides this? Marc Duncan PS Did you request your call sign?

Yep! He's right. I've managed to prove it several times too! Marc Duncan

Do you mean the cheap Jabra type ear piece for cell phone or the fancy two-way headset equipment type?

Has anyone bought the blue tooth card? Does it work well? Will a regular cell phone ear piece work with it? HRO told me today, 2 April, that headset rigs are not shipping yet. Thanks! Marc

Scrape Away Option Yep! It works. I grabed the resistor with the tweezers and it crumbled. No hot iron required! I would say it was designed to be a scrape-away option. All systems go.

Hum... Hum...as an EM it makes sense for me! I'm doing it. Thanks Marc

freeze-up and weather Mine was doing this too, so i reset the unit. It's happened twice but I'm so confussed I don't remember how I got there both times. I'm enjoying the reset though! Yesterday we had a weather event. My radio shack all-hazards went off but my vx8r did not. I...

No FRS Yikes! It's increadibly frustrating that I can't even use my vx-8r to talk with my kids on their frs radios. Marc

MARS Thanks! I will look for a MARS group. I'm in Raleigh about an hour north of Ft Bragg. There would probably be a group there. Thank you! I would be great to build them into civilian exersices, if just for the benefit of cross polination. Thank you again! Marc

Hello All, I'm a new HAM and on day 2 with my new VX-8r. Learning this radio will be a big flat learning curve for me and I suspect for many others like me. If you sharp guys got together and produced a video tutorial I bet it would sell! I know I would buy it! Marc
