Yaesu FT 2980 Program with RT Systems Software

[@tallmike6598]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video it was very helpful. I can't get over how easy it was to add repeaters to my 2980 ! 73 Mike

[@RichRodgersOnline]

Mike, thank you for watching my video!

[@microminiskirt]

I FOUND OUT. THE YAESAU IS SUPERIOR TO THE BTECH CX502 WHICH BLEW OUT IT'S FINALS. YAESU IS A BETTER MADE RADIO. HOW DO I KNOW THIS? I BOUGHT BOTH OF THEM.

[@RichRodgersOnline]

That would sum it up

[@HamDX2LVG]

Thank you so much, it was very easy to do thanks to your video. 73

Hi , Thanks for you video. Puedo poner frecuencias de banda aerea para recepcion Example 120 a 137 mhz?

[@RichRodgersOnline]

Gracias por ver mi vídeo. Creo que la radio sólo recibe 137 -174 MHz.

I think I need another piece of equipment...(it seems to never end) Unless I'm in the car, I need a power supply for the 2mtr radio. Any suggestions on a power supply?

[@RichRodgersOnline]

Robert I use a Astron 35 Am Power supply, I use it for my IC 7300 and My FT 2980. You don't need that large of power supply. You could probably speak to a ham dealer to find a good power supply to use for the radio. Thank you for watching my video!!

How does this Yaesu single band 80 watt mobile compare to the BTECH mobile BTECH Mobile UV-50X2 50 Watt Dual Band Base, Mobile Radio: 136-174mhz (VHF) 400-520mhz (UHF) Amateur (Ham) which costs about 20-30 dollars more?

[@RichRodgersOnline]

Hi XXX, Thank you for watching. I really don't know anything about the BTECH. When I am looking for a new rig, I go for word of mouth and I look at reviews such as eham.net. If you live in a city, 50 watts would be all you need plus you get a extra band. I also would recommend shopping around I saved $20 by shopping around. Another thing, if you are on the road a lot (between towns), the 80 watts could help get a little more distance leaving a town or coming toward a town. One more thing. Ask other hams how active 70 cm is in your location. If it is active, then it would be nice to have a dual band transceiver. I hope this helps.

I can not get the channel "name" to show up. What I am doing wrong?

[@RichRodgersOnline]

Joe, It has been so long since I did this.... 4 Plus years. I would say your name can be only 6 letters and/or number but 6 total. Once you have it in there save it on the software before you transfer. Maybe that would do it???
