Hello, my name is Jonathan, I'm from Colombia (South America), I have knowledge of radio bands 2 meters, I get some questions and I want to buy one.
I have these questions:
1) There is a modification posted on this page: http://www.worldwidedx.com/handitalkies/handitalk...aesu-vx-8r.htm, with this change the radio frequency Tx 5Wts @ ^ 6 meters? or just what comes factory set @ 1Wt for 6 meters? or modification only affects Tx in VHF (144 - 148Mhz -> increases to 137-174Mhz TX @ 5Wts) and UHF (430-440Mhz ---> increases TX 420-470MHz @ 5Wts, saying that the 222 -- 225Mhz? tx @? wts)
2) with the modification that changes the Rx? is some improvement in some of the bands or just improvement in Tx?
3) Do you have any problem making the modification ? deconfigure all?
4) The modification is erased some memories of the internal radio pre-installed? or just the configuration of User, for example: time, language, user memories ...?
5) I understand that this works with radio channel steps of: 5 / 6.25 / 8.33 / 9 / 10 / 12.5Khz ...... 100kHz, the question is by using UHF band, channel steps of 6.25 or 12.5 can and Rx / Tx or for GMRS / FRS is the banda of the two-way radios such as Motorola radios 5,10,20 .. . miles?
6) Your experience and you have the VX-8R, the radio works well?
7) As you think works the radio in the ^ 6 meters? both the Tx & Rx, Tx @ 1Wt ???
8) You with your experience, which disadvantages (or cons) has this radio apart from the 1100mAh Lithium Ion battery?
9) You know how many hours, the 1100mAh Lithium battery, only for Rx?
10) works well CTCSS tones? You think the VX-8R and improve this problem? , That this problem had the VX-7R with the CTCSS tone / DSC remember?
11) You can say that about the Rx Hz to 5 Mhz 999.90 Mhz? good? if successful in the Vx-8r Rx?
12) If I buy the VX-8R, and make the modification, the radio is reset Automatic or do I have to manually microprocessor resetting or Set mode Resetting, which of these?
13) Works well on audio scope, and the Spectrum Analizer attenuador 10dB?
14) Finally, if you believe that the VX-8R is not very good, another radio with similar characteristics?
Thank you very much for answering all my questions. hope soon to know their answers about my questions, because I am very interested in VX-8R acquire an excellent technology for Yaesu and I trust his long experience with the development & HT radios.
very grateful: Jonathan Delgado.
