-
- MOD for YAESU FT-530,
-
- Opens up the following bands
- - 110-180MHz Tx+Rx
- - 400-500MHz Tx+Rx
- - 800-950MHz Rx Only
-
- *Remove antenna and battery
- *Remove four screws on botton holding battery track.
- *Remove the four (black) screws holding rear case.
- *Slowly... open the front cover from transceiver and lay both halves on table.
- *Note positioning of white paper insulator and lift out (do not throw away).
- *Carefully locate Jumper Pad 13 and remove solder (shown in diagram).
- *Re-install white paper insulator, make sure the ground tab goes through ok.
- *Close radio back up (Careful not to pinch the ribbon cable when closing)
- *Re-install screws.
- *Attach antenna and battery
- *Turn off radio.... Press and hold both arrow keys while turning radio on.
- *MOD Complete!
-
- Solder pads are located in bottom right portion of circuit board in the
- following configuration.
-
- 2 (|) (|) 1 |
- 4 (|) (|) 3 |
- 6 (|) (|) 5 |
- 8 (|) (|) 7 |
- 10 (|) (|) 9 |
- 12 (|) (|) 11 []|<<- [] = small surface mount component.
- 14 (|) (|) 13 []/
- 16 (|) ([])15 /
- ______________
- NOTE: These pads are not in a straight line. Notice pad 15 has a surface mount
- diode on it. Pads 11 and 13 are close to a component, so be careful.
-
- If you remove solder from pad 13 it will allow Tx and Rx out of band.
- Removing solder from pad 13 and removing diode from pad 15 will allow Rx only.
-
- Good Luck!
- /***********************************************************/
- Does anybody know what the other pads are for??
-
- When I first tried the Mod I miscounted and removed pad 11 solder and didnt
- notice any change.

-
- If I recember correctly, Bob had a business relationship with AEA; I don't
- recall that he mentioned anything about a business relationship with CT.
- What I *do* recall is that when Bob inquired about an API for the CT card,
- they offered to sell it to him for $5K. Yikes!
-
- I think Bob was trying to make a point about open versus closed systems. The
- open system vendor assumes that it will realize more revenue by making its API
- available at a reasonable cost (or none at all) because developers will write
- applications that will generate more harware sales, while the closed system
- vendor views its API as an alternate source of revenue. Unfortunately,
- developers who pay $5K for an API generally sell their software for a pretty
- hefty sum, and this certainly won't benefit anyone with regard to the ham
- market since, as we all know, hams are notoriously tight with a penny.
-
- Personally, I'm with Bob on this one. My only application to date for sound
- is to have my PC make cute little noises when I drag a file to the trash can;
- I'm quite satisfied with the PC speaker driver for this purpose, and as a
- result I don't currently own a sound card. I'll buy one just as soon as some
- good ham-oriented freeware and shareware apps become available, and I'll buy
- whichever card that software runs on. After reading Bob's message, however, I
- kinda doubt that it will be a SoundBlaster16 ASP.
