These are wonderful tutorials! I purchased the FT- 8900r and was pleasantly surprised when I unboxed it and found that the radio is only about 1/3 of the size that it appears on your videos! Since it's going next to my FT-857d in my truck, space is a consideration... Thank you for your efforts in guiding us new owners through the Yeasu!
Do you always have to use the handset to input the frequency you want? Let's say I am on 145 500 and want to go to 145525, can this be done with one of the knobs? I'd probably input a lot of the frequency values into the memory so hopefully that would eliminate the need to turn knobs. I disabled don't have any finger movement so I will have to have a hands-free microphone wired for the radio.
You can tune frequencies in VFO mode, but then you have to change your offset & PL configurations if you are changing between repeater frequencies. Memories can be stored by computer programming, or via the radio face and mic.

Is the Yahoo Group still active, or has it migrated? I would like to check it out. Thanks

Is there an option that mutes one side
Turn the volume down on that one side
