yaesu

Starting an installation of a new Yaesu FTM-500D into a 2015 Nissan Frontier. I chose this radio specifically due to the removable head with integrated speaker. My objective is to make the install clean and relatively unobtrusive. I already have a Scangauge III on a mount on the top of the...

I ordered a used Yaesu VX-6 off eBay in preparation for getting my Technician license. It just arrived and I have starting watching a YouTube series on the radio created by KS6DAY. Very interesting for a new radio operator. I am on #4 in the series and performed the factory reset. When I attempt...

Ok I'm a newly licensed Ham - Tech license. I bought a Baofeng BF-F8HP and played with it (monitoring) for about 6-7 month while studying for my exam. I listened to all the repeaters and local HAMS in my area while learning how to access repeaters and the difference between 2 meter and 70 cm...

Hi, has anybody here knowledge about the circuits for FNB-31/ 33, 35 or 8 or FNB-4X series battery packs? I am sure there is nothing too special in there just wondering what the BAT SEL on the radio really does Is it is an internal thermistor to prevent overcharge with the external charger...

I have 5 of these antennas here in Michigan that I just got today. I have them posted on market place. If I shipped I'd have all of them sold today lol. Is their a reason why their not popular here in Michigan, or am I just not being patient. Are they used by people around here?

Hi guys, hope someone can help here. We have a Yaesu FT60R that was dropped accidentally on a hard floor. It looked like it hit on the end with the knobs and antenna. Afterwards, the volume doesn't seem to be adjustable and is so low as to basically be inaudible. However, the unit power-on...

Installed a Yaesu FTM-400XDR in my 2019 Ford F150 a few weeks ago. I used a solenoid which is tied to an ignition fuse in the truck. The fuse block powers on and off with the truck. The antenna is a Diamond NR770HBNMO mounted on the front driver fender. The dash mount and behind rear seat mount...

The VX-8gr is new to me and one thing I'm having problems with is getting it set to simplex mode. It always transmits with an offset. Anyone know this radio or similar (8GR is similar to the VX-8xx radios) and how to get it into simplex? The settings that I think are pertinent are: Tone is...

Anyone have this radio paired with a Bluetooth headset other than the Yaesu SSM-BT10? Not really finding much on the interwebs for compatibility. Advice comments and the like greatly appreciated. 73's

I’ve recently purchased a Yaesu FT3DR, wondering if anyone knows whether you can disable the ptt for specific channels or memories? I have several repeaters and simplex saved, but I know some radios are capable of disabling the ptt button if you wish to use certain channels for scanning only-...

Hello, I have the cheapy uv5rs and the kguv8d. Both have crappy s meters. I need a low end radio with a good s meter.. what would you recommend? I was told yaesu has really good meters... Would the yaesu ft65r work? Does it have a good meter? It's $90 prior tax.

I am using the Yaesu FT-65 in Priority Channel Scanning mode so that it monitors my existing channel and every 5 seconds checks for transmissions on the 'priority' channel. Does any one know how this 5 second period can be shortened / adjusted please ?

So I have exhausted my Googling skills for the past 24 hours with no avail. I have a DR-1X and upon power up yesterday it asked for my callsign and then booted up. It is displaying as a FTM-400 mobile radio and all menus are gone as it is looking for input from front panel buttons and knobs. How...

I have several vx-2's and one vx-3r. I can use VX-2 commander to program 15x.3175 no issues. works great. With Chirp and the VX-3R It will not let me enter that channel at all. Gives me an error about the 2.5 tuning step not supported. Why does it work on the vx2 and not the vx3??? Thanks, Rick

I am in a puzzlement on buying a new HT as what to replace my current, dying, very old Yaesu VX6-R. Looking at repeater lists such as repeaterbook.com and here suggests that Yaesu C4FM repreaters carry the torch for digital repeaters. D-Star repeaters are few in and far between in my area, and...

Hi all, I have a narrowbanded Yaesu FT-2900r that I have scanning some railroad frequencies in the area and within the past year, it has started to develop this unusual interference. I've included a link in this post so everyone can take a listen. The entire setup consists of a dpdproductions...

Hi Folks, I just powered up my FT-8900R in the truck and no joy !! When I powered it up, the radio started up normally but then both sides of the radio started showing the two busy channel indicators flashing on both sides of the radio. I can’t TX on either side of the radio but I am able...
