FT-411 OUT OF BAND MODIFICATION


I discovered a nice trick to increase its frequency coverage.
It is so simple that you don't even have to open your hand held.
All you have to do is:
1. Make sure that the power switch is off.
2. press the UP arrow and DOWN arrow together, at the same time
   (those keys are also called A, and B.
   and they placed at the upper right side of the keyped)
3. Keep pressing both buttons and turn the power on.

Now you can receive 130-174Mhz, and transmit 140-150Mhz
CAUTON: When you do this modification the memories can be erased.
Ayhow I think it is not the end, and there are some more options.
If you do have some more information about this Hand held,
Please leave me a msg with it.

                              Tnx, AVIAD, 4X6TL@4Z4SV


RECENTLY I SAW A MOD COME ACROSS THE SYSTEM ABOUT THE YAESU 411E PTT LOCK.
THE SAME MOD IS AVAILABLE ON THE 411. JUST TURN OFF THE RADIO. HOLD THE PTT
BUTTON AND THE #6 BUTTON WHILE TURNING ON THE RADIO. PRESS FM THEN 6.
PRESS FM THEN 6 AGAIN THE LOCK AND THE PTT ICON WILL NOW BE ON. THATS ALL THERE
