    Yaesu VX-8r Review

    Memory bank delete Been quite a while since I have been on here and I have a question for the group, is it possible to delete an entire bank of memories? The reason I ask is a friend wants me to clone his VX-8R with my RT Systems files, however he isn't interested in everything I have on mine...

    HT antenna, host of questions...

    I have the Diamond SRH 320A, it's the HT version of the CR 320A that I use on my Kenwood tri-band mobile. It works great and gets into dig-peaters better for APRS than the stock antenna.

    Yaesu VX 8R APRS help

    I changed my antenna to the Diamond SMA320A, made a big difference in getting into the digi-peater. Lately with the stock ducky I couldn't find myself with OpenAPRS or any of the other ones for that matter as long as I was in Stockton, if I got out of the city limits I didn't have a problem...

    Sending my Yaesu VX-8r in for repair

    Sorry to hear about that, if anyone is the VX8R guru it's you, I hope that all the testing you did in the beginning hasn't caused a problem. One thing about Yaesu they turn around the warranty stuff pretty quick. Good Luck

    Programming Software for the VX-8R

    Yea Scott, in case you don't already know, with the RT Systems everytime you reload it erases all the memories, if you want to delete a memory just remove it from the file and it won't load the next time. Also if you want to remove it from the radio, hold the fw key for 1/2 a second, long enough...
