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...
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...
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
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...
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.
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...
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.
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...
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.

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...
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...
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.
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?
Reaching ISS
Could you elaborate for us how you got through? In other words, were you on 145.825? What was the DIGI path set to etc.?
I'm using the VX-8DR and have an FTM-350 in the car and would like to see some packets transit the ISS. Any basic guidanc eor a link to how to set up for...
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.

There's a YouTube Video of the D710 'sending data back to the GPS', albeit in "Kenwood Sentence Format"
And for completeness, Moleculo's video on Vimeo of the Yaesu FTM-350 in action...
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...
