YAESU FT-980 EXPANDED RF THIS MODIFICATION IS VERY EASY TO PREFORM, HOWEVER DO NOT FORCE THE RADIO APART !!!!!!!!!! DO NOT PINCH ANY WIRES WHEN TAKING IT APART, DO NOT TURN ANY OF THE POTS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RADIO. PLEASE, PLEASE USE A VERY SMALL SOLDERING IRON SO YOU DON'T RUIN YOUR VERY NICE RADIO !!!!!!! HERE GOES: 1) Remove the power from the radio. 2) Remove top and bottom covers. THE NEXT STEP IS DONE TEMPORARILY. 3) Locate jumper location JW3001 (solder pads) on the display unit and solder bridge the pads. DON'T USE TOO MUCH HEAT The jumper is on the left side of the display board next to the left most CPU as looking from the back to the front with the radio in the normal up-right position. 4) Reconnect the power. 5) Press and hold [PROC], [AGC-F], [IPO], & [ATT] and turn the power on. 6) You will now see 02 off 7) Rotate the main dial until the display shows ( 02 - on ) 8) Press [PROC]. This will confirm and write the data to the EEPROM memory. 9) Turn the power off and disconnect the power cord. 10) Remove the solder jumper that you made in step 3 above. 11) Replace the covers. AND AGAIN BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DO NOT PINCH ANY WIRES AND DO NOT FORCE IT TOGETHER. I HAVE TRIED THIS MOD AND IT WORKS !!!!!!!!! BUT AS USUAL DO NOT XMIT OUT OF BAND OR THE RF POLICE WILL COME AND GET YOU !!!!!! If you have any questions about this mod, EMAIL me at MarkC57 (AOL) or on internet at corcoran@ncube.com. This is one fantastic radio and I would like to know what you think of yours. 73's N8ORH - Cincinnati, Ohio (This is a copy of msg sent to AT1TCT) R:951203/0422z 5560@AT1TCT.CT.RGN1.EAM.USA.NOAM $:36658_AT2TFC R:951203/0359z 36658@AT2TFC.#ENY.NY.RGN2.EA.CONUS DE AAR2HG BT Here's what I have Ed... 73 YAESU FT890/AT mod. TX 1,5 to 30 MHZ. ====================================== - Disconnect FT890 from all connections. - Open tranceiver like explained in your "OPERATING MANUAL". - Locate on the "CONTROL UNIT" jumper point JW 3001 and close it with solder. - Close tranceiver back and reconnect power. - Push PROC, AGC-F, IPO, ATT while power ON. - Now the display shows two digits of numbers and tree of letters (i.e 13 OFF) Rotate main knob and set the display to "02 ON". Now press the PROC button. - Power OFF and then back ON. It's all! - Now every time you want, you can change the programming, but you will always lose the memories. - Other settings than "02 ON" are of no interest. This one give you 100 w and automatic antenna tuning between 1,5 and 30 mhz. 73's de Phil, F1LOU @ ON7RC.BT.BEL.EU
