I told myself it's time to try the D-STAR infrastructure...
What do you recommend between these two handhelds? :confused1:
Yaesu FT1D, Yaesu FT1DR, Yaesu FT-1DR Amateur HT
Icom ID-51A, Icom ID51A D-STAR HandiTalkie, Icom ID51
I actually use a Yaesu VX-8GR.
thx
Just retried, the sequence I entered is right and the radio enter into the Alignment menu. I can see all the options wrote in the document I attached in my previous post, but there isn't the "MODE ***" :headbang
I bought my device from HamCity and it is a type A1. Yours?
I've the 8DR too but I hadn't success with the procedure...
I done the steps from 1 to 11, but at step 12 (turn DIAL to choose MODE ***) turning DIAL I see the Alignment Menu options but there isn't "MODE ***".
I know that for the VX-8R the procedure worked only for european versions and doesn't...
Just purchased VX-8DR with FGPS-2 and CT-136 :-(
Someone interested to buy them???
I found more info here:
osCMax v2.0 : VX-8GR Full 5 watts FM 144/430 MHz - $99,999.95
But they don't tell if it will have SmartBeaconing as 8DR...
1) VX-8DR upgrade released by RT Systems :drool:
2) about SmartBeaconing: just contacted Yaesu because I was confused reading p.167 of Operating Manual, they confirmed to me that Type1 refers to Vehicle (instead of people Walking) and Type3 refers to Walking....
Good!
I've just contacted RT customer service... they are waiting Yaesu feedback to release the upgrade (will downloadable as free upgrade for registered users).
They also told me that in the next 2 weeks they could release it.
I hope....
