Here is a reposting of the mod to extend the receive range of the new
Yaesu dual band handie to 130 - 180:
1. Turn radio OFF.
2. Hold down both UP and DOWN arrows.
3. Turn radio back ON.
I will trade the mod for VHF xmit for one to open up
UHF for recieve...I want to listen to UHF public
service (450-470).
To enable VHF transmit:
1. Open the radio such that the two halves open
like a sandwich.
2. Locate the internal lithium battery
3. Locate several solder pads to the left of
the lithium battery.
4. Just to the top left of the lithium battery is
ONE vertical solder pad. It is almost under the
top left edge of the battery.
5. solder a jumper accross this pad.
Notes:
The other solder pads do several things, none of which seemed
interesting to me: one set VHF band to 144-146, one replaces
2m band with 1260Mhz (would be nice if there was a 1260 Mhz
RF module available...), two others seem to disable the
squelches for the separate bands...etc. like I said, not
too interesting.
Also note that for some reason the automatic repeater shift
(- offset below 147, + above etc...) goes away when you
enable VHF xmit using this mod. I guess you can't have your
cake and eat it to. Oh well...
Ok, anyone have that UHF mod for me??? If you're too shy to
post it, e-mail it or snail mail it, or for heaven sakes
CALL me!
73!
