Ya, not a very smart guy to insist that you need the BU-1 and a starter kit.:whistle: The only thing I can't comment on is how long the BH-2A battery will last. I haven't run it out yet. The longest I have used it is 3.5 hours mostly listening with maybe 30 minutes of me talking. Good unit...

I have the BU-1 installed in both the VX-8DR and the FTM-350. I have the Yaesu BH-2A (mono version) Bluetooth headset. It looks kind of dorky but works really well. The vox also works well. I also have the desk charger and the Bluetooth charger cradle that mounts to the head (CAB-1) of the...

Oops, brain fart.:lol: That's what happens when I go from memory.

Oops missed that.:tt2:

One option that will work is using Yaseu's BT Stereo headset (BH-1A and FEP-4). The FEP-4 connects via short wire to the BH-1A and because of the hole in the BH-1A it is NOT waterproof. I have the BH-2A (mono and waterproof) and really like it. It looks dorky but works great. Both TX and RX...

I use aprs.fi as well and find it works well. I have both a VX8-DR and FTM-350 and find that the site updates very fast. For example I can be out of the house driving around, by time I get back into the house after I get out of my van (less than 60 seconds) aprs.fi is up to date. I can watch...
