Extended Frequency Range (5200):


	Effect: set receive and transmit range.
	Bad effect: ARS gone.

	This is based on information from Yaesu in Japan.

	These jumpers are located in the main radio case.  For
	location, refer to the FT5200 Technical Guide.

	1) Close (short) JP5001, JP5002, JP5003, JP5006 and JP5007
	2) Remove (open) JP5004 and JP5005

	The frequency range possible will now be approximately :
	VHF        Rx  110 - 180 MHz         Tx  130 - 180 MHz
	UHF        Rx  330 - 480 MHz         Tx  425 - 465 Mhz

	The radio's alignment was done at the factory for your
	original frequency bands and so there will not be optimum
	behavior outside these ranges.  Broadening the alignment will
	sacrifice performance at usual frequencies.  In practice, the
	alignment does not need adjustment.

	You can program the frequency limits now.  [ed - note the
	similarity (and dissimilarity!) to the 5100's program-limit
	sequence above]

	3) Press and hold [D/MR] [F/W] [REV] keys and turn radio on.
	4) Program in VHF low edge of Rx
	        VHF high edge of Rx
	        VHF low edge of Tx
	        VHF high edge of Tx
	5) Repeat for UHF in the same order.

	I [John] have not done this so I can give no further advice on
	programming.
