- 9600 BAUD MOD OF THE MONTH
-
- This month the modification is for the Yaesu FT-211-RH. Thanks for it are
- due to Chris Lorek from SMC.
-
- The FT-211RH has been shown to be suitable for 9600 baud packet operation.
- There is no major surgery required just two screened leads are required, one
- for TX AF the other for RX AF connected as follows:
-
- RX AUDIO
-
- On the RX IF Unit (sub board F2869104) connect the screened lead inner to
- the TK10420 IC pin 9 with the outerscreen to pin 15. Caution should be
- taken to solder these if soldered to the underside of the board.
-
- TX AUDIO
-
- On the rear of the main PCB a small potentiometer will be seen (peak
- deviation adjuster). Unsolder the leg nearest to the rear of the set, and
- connect the inner of the screened TX leads to this point, the outer to the
- earth plane adjacent to this point. To ensure that the 9600 baud modem is
- terminated in the required impedance, it is essential that a suitable
- terminating resistor be placed across the screened lead inner/outer, eg a
- 560 ohm resister; this may usefully be done at the FT-211RH potentiometer
- connection.
-
- No further adjustments need to be made to the radio. On the tested modem a
- suitable level of 2.5 kHz deviation was achieved with one third rotation
- clockwise of the modem TX AF level potentiometer.
