Was talking to<br>someone just the other day who had a tone when he first transmitted.<br>I told the guy he was using a Yaesu and he was surprised that I knew.<br>I said he had wires enabled. He found the button and shut it off. There <br>is a way to program the radio so wires will only work if certain criteria are met<br>and under normal operation you would never meet it either. There is no<br>way to enable it under normal or cross band mode. <br><div><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <hr size="1"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <b><span

There's a well-done description of<br>the settings changes for a dozen Yaesu models, and an explanation,<br>at <a href="http://www.sbara.org/downloads/WIRES/" target="_blank">http://www.sbara.org/downloads/WIRES/</a><br>which has both online html versions and downloadable pdfs.<br><br>Hope that helps some, and apologies for the noise to the rest of you.<br><br>-dan<br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>chirp_users mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com" href="mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com">chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com</a><br><a href="http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users" target="_blank">http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
