Hello,
I was wondering if any current Yaesu VX-8DR owners could help me out and test some frequencies for me before I make a big purchase. I have heard that the VX-8DR doesn't have the stepping resolution required to access the frequencies listed below. One 8DR user I talked to reported that he put in the following frequencies, and it 'corrected' to the nearest compatible step. It seems odd to me since the user manual states that the 8DR's frequency steps can go down to 5kHz. Hopefully someone can clear up my confusion with a quick test on an actual 8DR.
So, can the VX-8DR access the following freqs without correcting? Picture proof would be ideal. Also, please specify whether or not you have performed any modifications to your HT, and what your 8DR's frequency steps are set to (Menu #96).
Thanks for your time.
