5 watts and stock antenna inside your car(assumption) is the mostly likely reason for intermittent beacons seen. Your soon to arrive antennas will improve the situation. On the VX8 after you beacon you should see your beacon repeated by the digipeter, but not sure what the indication will be. On my D710 it indicated MY POSITION in the top line of the screen. Saves time looking up on the net if you see your beacon repeated on the radio's display.
