Re: What do you use for dual-band mobile? I'm in the market...
Nothing beats Yaesu's Hyper memory buttons for their quick ability to completely re-configure the radio memories available (FT8800, Ft 7900) and the channel memory banks.
I tried the Kenwood TMD710

Patricia,
I used Kenwood '710s for some years, but when I got another car the head was too big for where I wanted to put it (top cubby on the dashboard of a Subaru Forester), and I got a Yaesu 300,

I have had an 8800 and 8900. I currently use a FTM-400. The 8800 was a great rig though. Big display easy to use.

Thanks Leonard for the specific suggestions. I was eyeing Kenwoods as well, and I am open to going that route. Helpful to know they do APRS better than the 8800.?The only negative I've heard is that

For used look at the Kenwood D700, D719 and V71. The first two have aprs built in and the configuration of the data port on the V71 works much better for APRS than the FT8800/8900. The 8800/8900 data

I've been using both. They are stable and quiet. The 1223 is over 30 years old and never a problem. The fan in the 1235M was acting out a bit and I replaced it with a high quality computer fan. The

What do you use for dual-band mobile? I'm in the market...
I know I'm skewing a bit off topic, but I'd appreciate input from my few fellow Yaesu fans.
I want a simple dual band mobile radio for the car. I'd prefer to stick with Yaesu to minimize learning

FYI, I went with the Samlex SEC-1235M as Steve suggested.The 1223 would have been fine, but I found a clean used 1235 cheap on QRZ. It's on its way to me now. I liked the easy to read dual meters -

Re: help please- .1watt hf output except fm- full power
It is usually a dynamic mic, measure the element resistance with a multimeter.
It should be ~ 600 ohms. If 1kohms or more then the mic is the issue, no modulation.
A common issues with these 897/857
