I travel a lot so I keep a lot of different regions. I keep regions in banks and each bank is alphabetically organized. I also give repeaters names that mean something to me, I don't list them by their calls.

I have ordered a spare GPS Mount to see if I can wire in a plug for my ear piece and wrist mic. I really like this type of set up for when off roading. Makes it so much easier to hear.

Hey welcome to the forum! Lots of good info and people on here. I am out here in DC as well just across the river in Virginia. There are a few clubs out here. What area are you in?

wow..... thats all I can say.... wow

if you can afford it I think its a great radio for a new Ham. It may not be the easiest to work with at first which could be a little discouraging, but it is a great radio to really give you a taste of different parts of the spectrum and aspects of ham radio. whether its APRS, all the different...

Kind of along the same thread.... Has anyone been able to design / create an attactment for the VX-8r that connects the GPS AND a 2 wire concealed ear piece/ mic? I am thinking about buying an additional CT-136 and opening it to wire in a conector for my ear piece. Any help would be greatly...

Just speaking as to the accuracy of the GPS in regards to WAAS or not. I use a Delorme PN-20 and when I hat both sitting outside in a field full view of the sky they both read EXACTLY the same. I have done this a few times and am always pretty impressed. Has anyone ever tried to see if the...

I got my radio back in 6 business days from the time they received it.

So Funny thing... I sent my radio into Vertex adn got it back last week. Today I got their postcard in the mail saying they received it.... Hey at least they sent it. BTW the radio is working great!

Well I got my HT back today. Looks like they really logged some hours fixing it. Unfortunatly it doesnt say what they did... but it sounds great adn I am back getting great signal reports. Even found myself on aprs.fi...... I didnt get a post card from Yaesu but I got a letter from them...

I think he was talking about using the Yaesu Bluetooth headset with his cell phone. I dont see why this wouldnt work... but I dont have the bluetooth module... infact at this moment I am still waiting for my vx-8 to come back from the shop... :(:(

Well I talked to Stephanie at Yaesu this afternoon and she said that my radio had been fixed and she was waiting on a tracking number. Hopefully it went out today and will make it back to me Friday (probably Monday). it will be interesting to see what was wrong with it but Stephanie said that...

grrr Well.... After a few great months the time has finally come... I fired up the '8 this morning and got nothing but terrible garbled and extremly low audio. Tried different bands, tried different configurations, got the same audio from the front of the radio and the hand mic... so I...

There is a memory bank screen where you can add the memories real easy and arrange them however you want. as far as moving them around I'm not real sure what you mean. I attached a screen shot of the Memory Bank screen

My VX-8 has the mod and works great with the software

area files I will contribute the Washington DC region if someone lets me know where we are going to upload the files
