Yaesu FTM-350AR Personal review

Dear Friends,

My name is Adrian Ramirez and I am from Costa Rica.

First, I will like to apologize if my english is a little confussing. It is not my native language.

I own a Yaesu FTM 350 AR and I got it about a month ago.

I will like to pass over you a couple of things that drove me crazy that may be of your help. If I know anythign else, I will update the post.

1- Cross Band Repeater. Impossible to set up. Special menu Item 11, pushed the band botton and only got two beeps. Well, I read somewhere that I must turn the Modem of the APRS off. So I did and then I was able to set up the cross band repeater. No where in the manuals tell you this.

2- Single Band Mode. Pain in the neck. Until I read somewhere that I must press the fwrd or back button more than a second.

3- On the microphone, the asterixc (*) and pound (#) buttons let you change to either the left or right band for tansmission.

So far, this is what I have learned that I have not seen in the manual.

I hope it helps some one.

Regards from Costa Rica.

Adrian

Hello Mr. n0zna,

You are welcome and thank for your comment. Here in Costa Rica some people say that Yaesu FT 2800 have a driver problem. I have no idea what they are talking about.!!! Anyway, a lot of my friends on the radio do not know a thing about them but everyone talks like if they were masters. I love it!!! it is so funny. This is my email address if you ever want some info about my country. I am a tour guide. adriancostarica@hotmail.com (y)
 
saludos

Y bien venido al forunculo. Hope I got that right Adrian. I have taken advantage of some spanish classes a long time ago and try to practice it when i can.
