    Couple of VX-7R questions.

    Two questions. When looking up the modulation mod, it says press the MoniF key, the "Internet (Wires)" key, and the set key all together, while powering up to access a menu that gives access to modulation levels. Where is this "internet" key and has anyone tried this mod?

    VX-8R/DR vs. VHF Marine HT

    I have used it on Marine, but you have to set VFO A to the input, and VFO B to another frequency to be able to talk on marine. It worked ok. I had an aftermarket antenna and a counterpoise and I was able to reach 5-10 miles with mine.

    New Guy here, slight issue with HT please help

    My VX-8R has the same problem with a local net. I try to access an extremely close repeater with a 82.5hz tone and it just wont pull it up. Now my VX-5R will do it just fine, the VX-8R will just not pull it in. No idea why.

    I saw PO style antenna on universal radio and it looks like that is basically a 239 mount. Can anyone verify this?

    Mobile 2m/440m antenna that fits a SO239 male?

    I have a Wilson 1000 on my truck right now. It has the SO239 male connector on it now. Is there a 2m/440 mobile antenna that will fit those threads and work with that system? It would be nice to only swap antennas not find a whole new mount.

    VX-8R Problem

    Not a big problem, and its only intermittent. Today I was listening to my local fire band in the truck when the band got quiet, so I put it in the cupholder. The radio kinda slipped out of my hand and landed in the cupholder, a total drop of maybe 4in. It cut off, and turned back on again. For...

    Changing call tone on VX-8R

    Modem was off. I have tried many things, but still cant key up repeaters that require a different tone. One of them is a 145.110mhz repeater only 3 miles away. If I can key up a repeater 30+ miles away, surely I can key up one 3 miles away?
