- Hi All,
-
- ED (WB3FLD) has given us an interesting chart of all the possible combination
- of straps on the 2 meter band of the FT470 HT radio. I will like to mention
- of the combination that enables the radio to RX/TX from 140 to 174 MHz.
-
- As soon as you short the R67 and R69 straps, the radio will TX/RX out of band
- but it will be in an opened squelch... And that will drive you crazy, hi hi.
-
- The fix to that is to leave the R67 alone and just short R69 which is the
- vertical strap, 10 o'clock from the lethium battery. That will enable the
- TX/RX from 140 to 174 MHz and you will have full control of the squelch knob.
-
- I am looking, however of the combination straps to make the FT470 TX/RX upto
- say 461 MHz. Anyone have them please come forward so everyone may share them.
