- 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
