Thanks... I didn't think it was possible, but figured I'd ask.

I believe I already know the answer to this, but I'm going to ask anyway... I have a VX-8DR with the GPS antenna (I have both attachments, the shoulder mic and the direct mount). Is there any way to turn the GPS function off, but KEEP the GPS antenna attached? The GPS is certainly a nice...

I just finished the mod, and wanted to post a pic... The first thing that struck me when I opened the back of the radio was how SMALL the resistor is. The other pictures posted are great photos, but didn't really convey the size very well. This pic is of the resistor (after removal) at the tip...

@ Depark... Thanks again for the info. @ Moleculo... That's the same one I went with. @ Happy_Hamer... I'm going to try to fix the VX-2, I'll let you know if I'm not successful.

Perfect, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

My employer provides us with 40 year old Motorola Saber's (the OLD ones, that Motorola doesn't even make anymore). They're CONSTANTLY breaking, which is why I like to carry a backup. I have a Yaesu VX-2 that I used to carry, but the antenna broke off it during a "scuffle" (which is why I bought...

I ordinarily don't post my employment info on a brand new forum, but I'm sure you guys can figure it out (backup radio for concealment, my screen name, the frequencies I need to transmit on etc). Alot people don't like us, so the fewer that know what I do, the better. Back to the antenna...

I agree the antenna it comes with is "pretty small", but I need something smaller (for concealment)... Those frequencies are indeed marine frequencies, but I also need to transmit on some work freqs a little higher than 157.000 (hence the need for concealment). I'm not TOO concerned with lack of...

New to the forum (and new to hams), and I've got a question about my new Yaesu VX-8DR... I love the radio, but the antenna is a little large to make it convenient for me. I realize I'll be sacrificing performance, but I need an antenna that's considerably shorter than the antenna that it comes...
