- Let's try it this way:
-
-
-
-
-
- I bought my ft-2200 a few months ago and I didn't have the AM recieve
-
-
- activated. So I complained and got the mod for it:
-
-
-
-
-
- AM receive:
-
-
-
-
-
- 1. remove top and bottom covers, then remove speaker.
-
-
- 2. Lift the faceplate retaining tabs on top and bottom to
-
-
- slide the face off (pull the knobs off first you knob).
-
-
- 3. remove the retaining nut on the tuning shaft and lift
-
-
- the clear plastic light guide off.
-
-
- 4. The 12 surface-mount sized jumpers are now visible.
-
-
- 5. If AM is disabled, there should be a jumper across number
-
-
- 5. Remove this and reset radio before use. (I think it
-
-
- is number 5, my radio had only one jumper in place, and
-
-
- it was the one for AM block-out. If you have more than one
-
-
- in place, contact me and I will give you the double-checked
-
-
- version of this mod.)
-
-
-
-
-
- Now, if you enjoy this mod, please send me any more that you have
-
-
- heard of for this model. I would like a wide open radio to experiment with
-
-
- it's power output across the spectrum. I need FM Rx and Tx extended.
-
-
-
-
-
- Is it common for a radio to require a jump *made* instead of just *cut*? This
-
-
- would have to be the case for this model since it doesn't have any jumpers
-
-
- soldered into place. (12 pairs of surface-mount sized/spaced pads numbered
-
-
- from left to right).
-
-
-
-
-
- thanks in advance!
