fnb-58li and fnb-80li battery screw
Karin Johnson
Hello Group:
Does anyone know what type of screw on the outside of the fnb-58li or fnb-80li battery is called??? What type of tool can be used to open the battery case? I recently obtained a replacement battery for my HT, and would like to experiment with replacing the Lithium cells in the old case. Karin Anne Johnson? K3UU Palm Harbor, FL |

VX-8R, DR, or GR 900 MHz coverage question
I bought an FT-60R and was disappointed to find that it doesn't meet its spec for coverage in the 900 MHz band.? Tuning upwards, it skips 918.5-943.5 MHz.? I can't access these frequencies from the keypad, either.? Most of the frequencies of interest to hams are in the 927-928 range, making this radio almost useless for the 900 MHz amateur band.? The spec page says cellular frequencies are blocked, but there are no cellular frequencies in this range, at least not in USA where the law they cite applies.? Anyway, I wonder if the VX-8 series has the same problem.? Its manual's specification page has some very broad disclaimers suggesting that someone at Yaesu knows that some of the specifications are false.? Has anyone here found a similar bug in their VX-7 or VX-8[G|D]R radio?
Cheers Halden VE7UTS |

Re: New to me VX8
I have a VX-8R and without looking at my manual, I believe that indicates that APRS is set to 1200 baud. DA1VF Floyd On Sat, 22 May 2021, 19:17 Kj7trf, <kj7trf@...> wrote: Was the “A12” indicator always flashing? If not, what should I look for? |

I would try one or both of the suggestions here.? Just sounds to me like the thing has hung up.? Good luck and let us know if either of these worked.

VX-5 Stuck on 144.000 Receive
My VX-5 has suddenly gotten stuck on 144.000 MR channel 1. The squelch stays open even if I set it to 15. Turning the dial knob doesn't do anything. I can push the (MR(SKP)SC) key and it will change to MT and i can turn the dial knob to change the frequency. I can push the (VFO(DW)SC) to change to VFO mode and everything seems to work OK. But as soon as I go back to the (MR(SKP)SC) key to returns to 144.000 as mentioned. I tried resetting the microprocessor but that didn't change anything. I also tried resetting the set mode but that didn't do anything either. Anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks, WN7CSI, N. Idaho |

Re: Using as a scanner
No you can not scan trunked systems. At best the VX7r is closer to an analog scanner of the 1980's. It will scan the channles you put in, at a relative slow rate. However, in many areas, such as where I live, this radio works well as a general voverage radio.?

No idea how to program for a trunked system. |

Re: VX-7R repairs?
Have you tried a factory reset?? My VX-8R was not allowing me to make any changes to menu items.? A reset fixed it.? I used RT Systems software to do a full backup first then restored the data afterwards. DA1VF/WD8DUP On Sun, Jan 17, 2021, 05:59 Dave Mitton <dmhobby@...> wrote:

VX-7R repairs?
Nice to see this list spring back to life. I was using my VX-7R in my car as a scanner, and it was often hanging on odd channels.? I stopped using it because of that. I wonder if there is still a service center/dealer that will give the radio a checkout for possible bad components? |

Re: ADMS 1G software
All correct.? My original version didn't even work on Win10, so had to buy new.? Then again, my version was XP variant.? Was surprised they updated it. WD8DUP/DA1VF On Sat, Jan 16, 2021, 01:06 Chris Robinson KF6NFW DMR ID 3153250 <kf6nfw@...> wrote:

Re: ADMS 1G software
开云体育Nora, My version is 5.00.05. Not sure if that is the latest. I upgraded in 2018. You might have to pay for the latest. I have used it with Windows 10. Bruce wd9ghk ?

Re: ADMS 1G software
I contacted them directly and they sold me an updated version at a lower price than new, also for a VX-7R.? As long as you have the original serial number it's practically no issue. WD8DUP/DA1VF Floyd On Fri, Jan 15, 2021, 18:03 nanagle via <NNagle=[email protected]> wrote:
