I've been reading about the MarsCap Mod for my new VX-8R, and would like to know just what the new freq range would be AFTER the Mod? It seems so easy to do, are there any "side effects" to doing it? Help?
 

VX-8R Mod - Many thanks for the quick reply

Wow! Got the answer in less than 15 minutes!! Thank you soooo much.
I'll do the mod, and let everyone know what the results are.
Thanks again :thumbup:
 
MARS/CAP

Has anyone figured out the software mod (ie not cutting the resistor) for the US version? All of my other Yaesu HT's have such a mod......

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
