           Hello to all the owners of the FT-411 OF YAESU,

           I have this Hand held, and by playing with it,
           I discovered a nice trick to increase it 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.
                     That's all.
                     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

              1) Open the front cover

               2) Locate the C.P.U. unit (it is located on the
                               front cover ).

                3) Locate Jumpers 1,2,3 and 4 , These are the
                                band setting Jumpers

                 4) Jumpers No 1,2 and 4 should be
                                 disconnected ,and Jumper No 3 should
                                     be connected.

              5) Close the radio .

               6) Apply power to the radio and turn it
               on.
                   The display will initialize with
                   memory No 1 flashing and the
                       frequency display will show
                       1.000

                7) Now , adjust the display to
                the desired lowest receive
                frequency
                    When done ,press VFO.
                The memory CH will now
                show 2 flashing .

                 8) Adjust the display to the desired highest receive
                 frequency When done press VFO .
                 The memory CH will now show 3 flashing .

                  10)

                  transmit frequency
          When done ,press VFO.
        The rig
         is now set for your programed band on transmit and receive.

         COMMENTS
         -------

        1)
        After the rig was programmed to the band and you want to change it
        to
        other ranges you will have to open the rig again and disconnect
        Jumper No 3 then to apply power to the radio ,turn it on again
        open it again ,connect Jumper No 3 back and repeat from steps 5 .

         Any
        comment and other information would be appreciated.

          Good Luck
