I have a nice Yaesu/Vertex 3 1/2" long rubber duckie SMA antenna that fits perfectly on the VX-150 (No gaps at the base). It is for auction at Ebay with 20...
My VX-150 got quite wet (soaked would be a good word) during a heavy rainstorm. To the point there was visible water in the display. After letting it dry using...
... ================================ I haven't had it happen to mine and I'd wager that although the radio looks dry from outside, it's still wet inside, and...
... Hi John A good procedure is as quickly as is feasible do the following: 1) Take the radio to a dry location (your radio room for example) 2) Carefully...
I am on a fire department, and I know there are radios out there that when the "tones" go off it opens up the radio with some sort of alert. Similliar to the...
I've created a data file for use with the ADMS software from RT Systems that contains all of the railroad channels. The memory number is the same as the...
FTB1050 V1.0.0 is now available for the Yaesu VX-110 and VX-150 2m handheld transceivers: http://www.g4hfq.co.uk/download.html Further information about the...
What is the story on the FNB-V57 1100 mah NiCd pack and the various 1600 mah NiMH packs? See, e.g., eBay item no. 5821325087. The vendors suggest they must be...
Ken, I've had no problems using the FNB-V57 and other packs with the overnite charger. Now that I also own the Yaesu FT-60R, I'm using the FNB-83 battery pack...
My understanding is that (some of) the new battery packs, lack the strap to the charging pin, on the theory that the newer ones are not meant to be charged by...
You don't want to overcharge NiCd cells either. The oft-maligned NiCd "memory" effect is actually a symptom of repeated overcharging. I gather NiMH cells can...
... alert. ... Jon: The VX-150's got an "accessory" connector - probably described on one of the VX-150 forums - that can (I think) accept a plug in that'll ...
I think Jon is referring to the function that emits an alarm bell when the PL/CTSS or DCS squelch opens. I didn't realize the 150 had this, but it's in the...
Marcus, Are you saying that the radio will be quiet with no traffic until that PL tone opens it up and activates the bell? Ity is correct I am trying to...
... that PL tone opens it up and activates the bell? Ity is correct I am trying to replace my minitor that I have for the FD i am on . ... Is your system the...
Our system is set up that if we have a call, dispatch sets off the "tones" which is a set of audible noises which are accompanied by subaudible "tones" which...
Jon, You'll need to know two things: - Does your system transmit on a frequency the VX-150 can receive? - Is the system's subaudible tone frequency available...
Marcus, I carry a Minitor IV for the FD I doubt reeds are installed, but that is the term they use, probably just because the old timers still think that is...
The bell function on the VX-150 is unrelated to the paging system used by some fire departments. The fire departments I am familiar with use a two-tone paging...
I have a better idea...why not just carry your department-issued pager? It works for me. Most fire departments don't rely on scanners or ham radios to alert...
I could have sworn I'd responded to this before. The VX-150 has an add-in board (goes under that little label in the battery compartment) that should be able...
Is this radio opened up? We're in CAP and these work great for ground teams...at least until 2008. I would be very interested as a Christmas present for my...
... If the radio is not already licensed in the CAP radio system, you are past the deadline for doing so. New radios cannot be added after 31 Dec 2004 if they...
Yeah, I caught that after sending....just a question that I used to ask on any radio I'm interested in.It would still be a good radio for him for ham use and...
ah who cares. damn cheek If the radio is not already licensed in the CAP radio system, you are past the deadline for doing so. New radios cannot be added...
