    FTM-350 & GPS While there are data cables available for the FTM-350 such as the CT-140, -141 and -142, seen on page #38 of the APRS Manual for the FTM-350 found here...

    Installed Bluetooth BU-1 in VX-8DR

    Bluetooth Thanks for the info. After I try a few of the BT earpieces and headsets I have here and test the VOX and so on I may add the Yaesu headset. When I called HRO today and asked for prices I actually got so much wrong information and guesses at what part number meant what that I...

    Installed Bluetooth BU-1 in VX-8DR

    I just installed the BU-1 into my VX-8DR...mostly for listening convenience. It works great! I paired right off with my Plantronics Voyager Pro and am listening away. :thumbup:I have not played with VOX or TX at all yet, but I am psyched to use the Plantronics for listening...very cool. Next I...

    FTM-350 Problems

    FTM-350 Sorry you're not happy with your radio, but I wouldn;t say it's a "problem" that you can't break the memories in to groups...it is a feature we would like to have. I knew this when I bought mine...do I wish it had them? Yeah, I do. For now I am getting along with the 'Not skipped...

    Which Would You Buy?

    FTM-350 I had a TMV-7A and loved it, nice rig, great display, but as I want APRS and 50W on 440 and 50W on 2M, Bluetooth upgrade capability and buit-in GPE option, I would, as I just did, choose the Yaesu FTM-350.

    10 meters Saturday

    10M The band seems to open up pretty short and to be fairly unstable even second over second here in New England. I did work a Missouri station this morning when I tried 10M CT <> MO at 100 watts on G5RV up about 15M. On 17M I could hear a South Africa station that was spotted, he was...

    Yaesu FTM-350 Review

    Pop-Ups You mean Pop-ups showing received beacons from other stations in keeping with the filters you set or don't set right? I get them as I always have, I have the, set to only last I think 2 or 3 seconds...working fine here.

    FTM-350 Mobile Install

    Smart Beaconing The 'Smart Beaconing' isn't anything complicated, I just took the default settings for it. There is a summary statement about it in the specs and that includes a link for more info: "...SmartBeaconing™ from HamHUD Nichetronix is able to modify its own beacon rate in response...

    satellite tracking pgms

    Satscape and Orbitron I use Satscape the most; but when I want to print multiple sats' passes to go into the field I think Orbitron does a better job of that.

    Pullin the Trigger on Tuesday

    Base or Mobile? Craig- base op or mobile? I have the FT-897D here as a base HF rig and love it. The 857 I could see for mobile, but the controls are too cramped for me. unless I really had to save the space. For an antenna tuner I really recommend the LDG AT line of auto-tuners...super...

    Yaesu FTM-350R No 'Scan CTCSS' function?

    Hi. I have had my FTM-350 a month + now and am liking it a lot. I am wondering though....can it not be made to scan the CTCSS from an incoming signal (if the repeater is xmitting it) so I can hear a repeater and set its PL? Do I have to do this manually by doing T-SEL and turning the knob...

    Yaesu FTM-350R TNC

    FTM-350 There's no serial access to the TNC as far as I know...it's there to do APRS period. That's how they spec it and market it as far as I can see.

    Why is my FTM-350R Beat-boxing ?

    Squelch Opening That is strange. I do have to wonder what is transmitted on 191Mhz and whether or not this happens when you are on a more mainstream frequency on your right VFO?

    WorldWideDX Contacts

    FT-897 Craig, I have an FT-897D that I am really liking. Have not been using it on the sats yet, but plan to. It's been great on digital modes so far and I've worked some great DX on SSB and PSK-31. The LDG AT-200 tuner I bought with it has been fantastic.

    FTM-350 vs TM-D710

    D710 I run the Yaesu FTM-350 in my car and love it, but I understand from a friend who uses the D700 and D710 that he can output positions of other radios to the Garmin GPS he uses where the Garmin is receiving positions from the Radio/TNC.... (contrary to what's said below). I thought this was...
