    Geosat 5 with FTM-350

    You only get 2 icons, moving and fixed, no Lat./Long readout, looks like no speed either. It will show you where the contact is on a map and you can do the "Tactical Mode" where you set a contact as a target and can track it or it will give you directions on how to get to the target. What...

    Geosat 5 with FTM-350

    Works I now have my FTM-350 working with the AvMap 6. If you go to the AvMap Yahoo group they have the info and pi-outs for the cables. It does not have the full functionality of a Kenwood, but when you combine it with the data displayed on the FTM-350 it is pretty cool. It is nice to be...

    Geosat 5 with FTM-350

    Now that the FTM-350 can output and accept input data, what is the chance that it will work with this nice, but pricey, GPS unit? This looks safer and more compact than using my laptop running UI-View in my car. AvMap Right now it can talk to a Kenwood APRS, I have contacted the company...

    FTM-350 communications with UI-View

    With the version 1.2 software upgrade it looked like the FTM-350 could finally be used as a input to UI-View. After some messing around, I got it to work. I get a error message on start-up that the TNC is not responding, but that makes sense. These are the settings that I have so far...

    Yaesu FTM-350AR

    Getting close Updated to 1.2 with no problem. Now I am trying to get it to talk to UI-View. Got it to communicate, but they seem to be speaking different languages. Any ideas on what settings I should try both at the FTM side and the UI-view side. Thanks

    Yaesu FTM-350 APRS Review

    Pop-ups I am still having pop-up problems. The S-list will populate normally, but the pop-ups are very sporadic. I clear the S-list frequently (like every 15 min.) and I have done a reset twice. The tech at Yaesu was very nice, but not a lot of help. His answer was "just play with it and...

    Never thought of that, but it makes sense. Like I said it looks kile the Mic-E messages are for emergency responders, a department could have there own meanings for the custom messages. Ok, new question: Can you turn off the Mic-E messages since they really do not apply? I think the answer...

    Mic-e custom message Hi, Got the rig installed and having a good time. Has anyone had a chance to figure out how to generate a custom "Mic-e" message. The standard ones seem aimed at emergency responders and do not apply to me. If you scroll through the options, it gives you the option...

    Yaesu FTM-350: More lockup problems

    It seems to be a Yaesu issue since the lock-up has been replicated just using the radio for programming. RT Systems just has come up with a work around. I recieved the warning about the Wx lock-up and how tof ix it with my software I recieved last week. I'll scan and post the sheet tonight...

    Power This will be my first mobile insatllation. Do I need to power it directly from the battery like K0BG says on his web site? I picked up a Power Werx 30 amp in-line fuse cable and the auto power off box thing, so I am equipped to do a battery hook up if required. Thanks Ray- N1LUL

    We'll I did it. Order went in this A.M. for the -350R and a bunch of goodies. Will be going in my 2010 Mazda 3 hatch. I'll post pictures when I'm done. The only thing left is to get up the nerve to have someone drill a hole in the roof for a real antenna mount. I don't want to hurt her.
