I ended up getting the antenna about 30feet in the air with the ladder line coming straight down... its pointed NE-SW... we'll see how it does. I actually don't have a band preference - this would be my first HF antenna... should I have a preference?

It will be horizontal... I'm trying to find out if putting it north-south or east-west or any other variation would matter... I know its not omnidirectional so it must matter somewhat, no?

I plan on putting up my G5RV antenna tomorrow and I was wondering if there was an opinion to which direction it should be hung? I'm in Houston, TX so I'm about a bit south but otherwise in the middle of the US... I was going to hang it North-South... but now I'm wondering if it should be...

Just the firmware is different - so you can field-upgrade any R to an AR... the only hardware difference is that AR comes with a different/improved mount for the head.

On the 350r there's a switch inside and behaves as you described and its used for firmware updates.

I spent hours trying to get any version to update on my 350... v1.1... then v1.2... it would continually time-out and not start using an RT Sys cable. So as a last ditch attempt, I tried a different laptop and BOOM it finally worked! Just sharing in case someone else has an issue with it. :)

I got my letter mid July and got my radio back the first part of August I'm surprised it took so long for you guys to get your notices - I wonder if they're doing a lot of them?

I have one as well... but I have to say that the UI isn't as good as the one on my 2m Puxing PX888d But for the price, its not worth complaining about. :D

I own one. I also own a PX-888D as well. While the KG-UVD1P is indeed dual-band, I find the UI to be terrible. The PX-888D is much better. But there's nothing technically wrong with the UVD1P - it works fine, and sounds fine... great deal for a radio. The one thing I do find annoying...

I just got mine flashed as well... so definitely not gossip

Does anyone know who I'm supposed to contact and where I'm supposed to send my 350 for the firmware update before I go ahead and permanently mount it in my truck?

So the questions are: will there be a general release update on this? do we all have to prove that our radio is acting up before they apply this patch? will this update be field update-able?

agreed - the documentation is terrible on the 350 [sigh]

I believe it is serial... and the the cable has a serial-USB converter in it.

I bought a CT-131 adapter to convert the 7pin plug to a 3.5mm phono plug so I can get a wire bud headset. Which wire bud headset will work with the CT-131? I found two: VC-27 MH-37A4B They seem identical but only work with a subset of yaesu HT's... Anyone know the right one for the VX-8R...

I have the GPS unit... and yes you can either use the mic or the mount for the GPS either is fine. However, you do not need a GPS unit at all for the APRS functions - they work fine without the GPS unit. The only thing the GPS unit will do is automatically update the...

I had no problem removing the resistor with the PCB still in the radio... it was quick, touch the resistor with the soldering iron and it came right off. Good luck! :D
