HOW-TO: Configuring the Yaesu VX-8DR for Duplex Repeaters
HOW-TO
(As an example: I’m using WA4TSC on my Yaesu VX-8DR at 147.30000MHz downlink, 147.90000 uplink, +0.6MHz offset, 146.2Hz uplink tone. You can find this information using RepeaterBook.)
- Tune VFO to desired Frequency (of the Repeater, eg 147.300MHz)
- Press FW key on left side, [F] lights up on the Display
- Press MODE on keypad
- Rotate the dial on top to choose TONE as your Squelch Type
- Press PTT to confirm Squelch Type
- Press FW key again, [F] lights up on the Display
- Press 2 on the Keypad for Code (which is a PL Tone for this selected Squelch Type)
- Rotate the dial on top to choose the correct Tone Frequency of the Uplink Tone expected by the Repeater (eg 146.2Hz)
- Press 2 on the Keypad again to confirm Uplink Tone.
- You are now able to listen and transmit as Duplex on the Yaesu VX-8DR
to confirm, you should now see:
- the Repeater frequency as the VFO,
- TN [+/i] NFM from the Right Display,
- [A] HI from the Left Display
