Yaesu's Owner's Resource page

This page is collection of information about my Yaesu radios. Obviously I am rather fond of Yaesu's equipment, and I hope to be able to provide some information about them here.

This page is a work in progress, and hopefully will provide information and resources to other Yaesu owners. --Mark (WM7D)

VL-1000 Quadra

(06/26/2009) My Quadra has arrived. All connections to the FT-2000D have been made, and the ALC adjusted. 1040W on 6m is pretty cool.

FT2000D

(03/07/2007) The FT2000D has arrived. I've unpacked it and powered it up, but not much else. I'll start playing with it soon and start posting thoughts here.

(03/03/2007) It's shipped. Should arrive here on wednesday.

(02/01/2007) The order for my FT2000D has been placed. Hopefully it won't take too long to get here. I've ordered the external speaker as well, but I'm not too sure about ordering the DMU.

FT920

My HF rig for the past 10 years.

FT100

HF/VHF/UHF rig used mainly mobile.

FT817

FT1500

A cool little 2M 50W mobile radio.

FT8500

My 144/440 FM radio at the house.

VX8R

08/05/2009 - Got the VX8R today. Nice HT. Can't wait to spend a little time with it and figure out the nits.

VX7R

06/03/2002 - My VX7R arrived today. I'm struck by how heavy it is and how solid it feels. Makes all my other HTs feel like toys. The package includes the radio, Lithium Ion battery pack, antenna, belt clip, wrist strap, charger, and manual.

VX2R

The VX1Rs brother. This one adds a little more power, and a few more features in a package only SLIGHTLY larger than the VX1R.

10/17/2003 - My VX2R has arrived, and I think I like it more than the VX1R. I took it apart to see how it's made, and I'm pretty impressed. It's amazing that they can pack so much into a package so small. And, it can be had for $119 (after the $50 rebate).

VX1R

A fun little (and I mean little) low power HT. Used frequently when out with friends.
