 Hello everyone I have a very interesting situation, I have a device did I use where is my radio that is a headset. The problem is every time I have to travel, I have to put new frequencies into the memory I have my radio. This unfortunately on pairs the headset. Dust resulting Annette having to be rich shut up. Is there any way to write this set up to the SD card, or write it somehow to the memory of the radio? Because it is a big hassle every time I travel to set the headset up again. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Mute FT2DR Packet Sound APRS?

Mute FT2DR Packet Sound APRS?


On my FT2DR I can’t seem to figure out how to mute the TX packet sound with APRS. Sounds like an old modem every time it transmits which is annoying when hiking in the backcountry. Any ideas would be great. Thanks in advance.

To remove a channel from a bank‚ first go to the memory bank that contains the channel and then touch and hold the F[MW] button until the memory options appear. Press the button with the six squares and then press M Del. This will remove the channel from the memory bank but it won’t delete the memory location.

How to setup APRS on FT-2DR

I picked up a 2DR a few months ago and am finally able to sit down and really dive into it.

So I'm trying to set up APRS and I'm going through and following the APRS manual here. I have the B band set to 144.390 and I'm not seeing my station pop up on aprs.fi.

Is there something I'm missing or a resource that would better help me?

Homemade Data Cable for Yaesu FT-2D

A while ago I bought a Yaesu FT-2D in order to try some YSF with MMDVMs. I discovered that German shops sell the data cable for nearly 90€ which seems quite expensive - especially after discovering that I just contains a pl2303 USB-RS232 adapter and a MAX3232 or similar level coverter. So the only difficulty left to clone this cable was the connector on the radio side. There is a longer thread on Twitter about this (see [1]). Sources for the plug seem to be [2] and [3].

EDIT: The lack of voice narration in this video is intentional guys. It's not necessary. The features I demonstrated are obvious in their function. If narration is needed, I will use subtitles in the future.
