[Yaesu] ft-8900 need help with cross band function....

[KBØNLY]

Nope.. Nothing you can do about it, i have the FT-8800 and i also had an 
8900 before trading it in for a couple FT-7800R's..  Long story short, it 
won't change back until the carrier its receiving drops.  If the repeater 
has tone encode and your running decode then its a little quicker as most 
radios drop faster that way, they drop the tone before dropping the carrier 
to remove any burst at the end of the transmission, if the radio it setup 
for decode and it sees the tone drop it will treat it the same as a carrier 
drop when crossbanding.

The radio will see the drop of the tone and will then allow changeover, but 
still it needs to see a loss of receive on the one band before the other 
will go into receive.
