Maybe this is in the right spot, if not I know it'll find it's way to the right place.
Anybody have any modifications for this radio. I've done the mic mod to it and that helped a lot. I've also done the mod to allow it to transmit on the freq's it receives on too. I'm looking for any other special mods (wink, wink).
Thanks... |

BTW porkchop...
The mod you did to the radio for extra freqs is acheveable without even opening the covers and voiding the warrenty, just gotta push some buttons when powering on...
Sorry I don't know of any other mods, don't think there are none...

This MOD is for the NEW Yeasu FT-2800 Hi-Power 2-Meter Mobile and it is easy!
Start by disconnecting power and microphone.
Remove all screws on bottom of radio and remove bottom cover.
* Careful, the speakers rubber seal my stick to the cover, so take your time and note that the speakers wires are soldered to radio (no connector).
To make this simple, position the radio with the front facing away from you (bottom up) In the front right corner you will see a set of three solder pads located on the back side of the circuit board for the front display/ controls.
There is only one solder pad in place from factory (far right side, see photo).
REMOVE this solder pad!
Bridge the middle solder pad, leave the others un-soldered.
Reset radio by pressing ALL four white panel buttons while turning power on.
button labels ---> [MHz] [Rev] [LOW] [D/MR]
Then press the [D/MR] button. The radio will power cycle.
DONE!
NEW TX and RX RANGE is 137.000MHz to 174.000MHz
Enjoy!

Yeah that is the one I did already. I was just wondering if there were any others available. I did the mic mod also where you remove the little disc that sits in front of the mic element. It helped to clean up the audio and make it clearer and louder. I get good reports from it on the local repeater.
I've seen alot of radios/receivers that state that cell freq's are blocked. Are there mods for them to restore those? |

Under federal law radios are not allowed to cover c-phones and if made after the mid 90's UNMODIFIABLE. |

Now Bruce....Bruce....come'on now. For sure not. Of course you could get the Europe versions to solve that....
Anyone tried the FT-857 on 11 meters? How about you Bruce? |
