G'day Ashley,<br>
<br>
There are three models for Yaesu's VX-8 series, although I <u>think</u>
only two of them appear to have officially made it to Australia.
There is a VX-8DR and a VX-8GR and they are different. <br>
<br>
I have the VX-8GR and that has worked for me whenever I've used it,
including (very occasionally) in the greater Brisbane and Canberra
areas, as well as its native SA. It's been a while since I
actually 'fiddled' with the settings, so I'd need to clue up on what
might be required for the '8GR - which is the only one I have any
experience with. In this I was almost certainly helped by the
fact that I had been experimenting with APRS and packet radio in
general for a very long time, so I had a fair grounding in what was
needed in TNC settings, paths and stuff like that. <br>
<br>
However, be assured that it <u>should</u> work; you are obviously
half way there - perhaps even further than that ......<br>

Hi All,
<div class=""> I have a Yaesu VX-8 handheld that I’m trying to
configure to tx my position via APRS. I followed all of the
steps in the radios manual and used the frequencies and
digi-paths specified on <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://aprs.net.au" class="">aprs.net.au</a> website but
yet my station never seems to show up on <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://aprs.fi" class="">aprs.fi</a>.
I’m receiving other stations reports on my handheld so I can
receive ok. If I push the TX-PO button the radio appears to tx
but as I mentioned before, nothing shows up. I have the GPS unit
and have it configured to auto report. My calls sign is
VK4HSA-9. Can anyone offer any suggestions to resolve this
issue?</div>
