For Sale, 9 month old FTM-350R with (FGPS-1) GPS and ADMS-350 programming software. Radio was very seldom used and in mint condition. I had it installed in my vehicle the entire time. The radio has the latest firmware from Yaesu. I found I’m more of a scanner hobbyist then a true ham operator so...
This is great news. :thumbup: I was thinking about sending my radio in to get the compass update since I bought my radio when it first came out. Releasing the update saved me money and time without my radio. Since my radio is installed in my vehicle I used my laptop and the RT System USB Cable...
As soon as I installed my software it search and installed the update. It is so much nicer to be able the radio with my laptop. Life is so much easier.
I don’t know if anyone else is having this problem but APRS beaconing is hit or miss with my 350. I followed all the instructions that everyone has posted and my unit will not beacon when it is scheduled too. I tried intervals, smart-beaconing and even manual mode. Sometime I will get TX errors...
I would like to know what else they possibly fixed with the unit. I'm in no rush to send mine in yet if there are other bugs still being discovered. I'll wait awhile that way when I send it in; they can correct all the problems.
So did they indicate that they actually fixed something? I still wish they would add some kind of memory management like on ALL there other radios. Keep us updated.
I'll give it a try. Today I went on a road trip with APRS on the right side again. About halfway into my 40 mile trip the static interference returned like in the video and the signal was unable to transmit. I will try the left side next time but I should be able to use either side.
Something strange is happening today with my FTM-350. It’s been running great all week and today on the way home I noticed APRS was not updating like it normally does. I could see the signal strength meter was constantly indicating a signal and not allowing for the radio to beacon. I adjust the...
I don't have the GPS module yet so I am unable to test it out myself but from yours and the other reviewers post I believe it might be a problem with all the units unless someone else says it's working for them. I uploaded my install picks in my album today. I set it up so everything is easy to...
I'm using the proclip system. This way I'm not drilling into my dash. I added a different connector to my radio which allows me to remove it quickly and take it indoors at night. The clip works great becauses there is room for the GPS unit.
So far so good. I left it running all night with APRS running and it's still going strong. One thing I did change in my settings is the APRS distance, I set it to 30 miles.
I don't think I can do as great of job as you have but I can checkout issues that others report. I still can't get over how easy the interface is on this rig. I'll post in another section because I know your using this topic to track issues.

I received my radio early this morning and I tested out the APRS feature and been talking on a few of the different repeaters in the area. I will follow suite of what you reported and see if I can duplicate any of the problems you reported. Audio sounds great on both the front and rear...
Sorry to hear about the problems you were having doctordave. My 350R will arrive tomorrow and I have my fingers crossed. I will be looking out for all the issues members have posted so far. Who did you get your radio from? Had they reported issues from other customers? I plan on running the...
Sorry that you have to send it in for repairs. I know from my house in Florida, it 5 days UPS ground one way. When I have to send items to Yaesu, I plan on the item being gone for 3 weeks.:crying:
I'm going to miss your reviews once you do send it in. I've gained more knowledge in the last...
