What does it do?


FTBVX8 is a memory management program for the Yaesu VX-8R/E and VX-8DR/E handheld transceivers. For the Japanese models VX-8R and VX-8DR please use FTBVX8J - the same license covers both programs.

It enables you to:
  • backup/restore the cloneable memory
  • modify memory definitions
  • add and delete memory definitions
  • manage which memories are in which banks
  • sort memories by frequency or name
  • analyse and report on duplicate frequencies
  • edit the PMS memories
  • edit the Home memories
  • edit the frequency, mode and other settings in the band VFOs
  • edit the radio's Menu settings and APRS/GPS settings

    The Import/Export facility enables you to exchange memory information between the following radios by using .CSV format memory definition files. You will also need to use the appropriate FTBxxx software for the target radio.
  • FT-817, FT-847, FT-857, FT-897 (including ND and D models), FT-1802, FT-1807, FT-1900, FT-2800, FT-2900 FT-7800, FT-7900, FT-8800, FT-8900, FT-1D, FT2D, FT-60, FT-250, FT-270, VR-5000, VX-3, VX-8, VX-110, VX-150, VX-120, VX-170, VX-177, VX-270
  • VX-2, VX-5, VX-6, VX-7 - using the Commander range of software by Jim Mitchell, KC8UNJ
  • Memory definitions can also be imported from TravelPlus for Repeaters using .TPE files, and from ButelSoftware's ARC250.

    Sample memories files are provided so that you may explore the editing facilities available without having a radio or cable to connect to your PC.
