Question.. I used to be a Ham Operator and thinking about getting back into it. I don't have a call sign yet, studying and hope to take the test in the near future but am thinking of getting this radio. Do you have to have the call sign to be able to start this radio up or listen to it until you get your license?
it will ask you for one, not sure if you can proceed past that or not, I implore you to get back in the hobby things have really changed in the last decade
I have the exact same question, I’d also like to know if it is possible to bypass the call sign entry and use the radio as a receiver. I do believe there may be a setting to disable the PTT button, but not sure if the Yaesu can do that. If anyone knows…
@@NJF60 I dont see why you have to enter any call other than for aprs functions and maybe c4fm, Ill play around with it and see if I can get it to work, for tx just enter the RX freq only, Ill try to get a video out for you guys soon, Im dealing with colon cancer so please be patience with me
@@simplyhamradio8286 I’m sorry to hear of that. Your health is more important than anything. Please take good care and take your time. Thank you and best regards.
@@simplyhamradio8286 even when I reset it and tried simplex no audio, is there like a mute transmission button by default because I transmit just no noise
@@KE8ODY-WV-Ares-Ham-Dad-3O4 where do you have the squelch set, its on the side, Im sorry you better return it to HRO or where ever you bought it if you cant get it figured out

@@simplyhamradio8286 they sent me a bad unit and refused to admit it to me

That’s absolutely inexcusable
