Hello all,
I have a Yaesu FT-900 that I want to open up to TX on 11 meters. I remember reading somewhere that to do this you have to jumper a couple of test points and then turn the radio on while holding in some buttons or some such thing. I can not remember where I read this. Does anyone know how to make an FT-900 talk on 11 meters and if so could you walk me through it. I don't do a lot of my own radio work.
Thanks. |

1.Remove the two screws from the top cover, and the two screws from the top rear area of the rear panel, so as to allow the top cover/heat sink to be slid slightly toward the rear. The objective is to be able to see into the CNTL-1 Unit, which is the i
2.Locate test points TP3001 and TP3002 on the CNTL Unit. They are located near the top edge of the board, in the center from left to right. With the transceiver still turned off, connect a jumper (alligator clip is ok) between these 2 test points.
3.Hold in the following 4 buttons: [PROC], [ATT], [IPO], and [NB]. While holding them in, turn the transceiver on. Release the buttons.
4.The display will indicate OFF. Turn the VFO dial slowly until the display reads ON.
5.Press the [PROC] button to write the new instructions to EEPROM.
6.Remove the jumper across the test points.
7.Replace the case screws. Mod is now complete.rea of the rear panel, so as to allow the top cover/heat sink to be slid slightly toward the rear
hope this helps Viking! |
