- Subject: FT-209RH mods resolved
-
- Some time ago I had tried the FT-209 mods as published in the Dec. '87
- 73 magazine. It hadn't worked correctly, and someone on the net verified
- that the jumpers listed weren't correct, but they'd forgotten the correct
- jumpers. Well I finally got around to doing the mod, and here are the
- results.
-
- The magazine article says to jump pins 1, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 16.
- In every 209RH I've opened, pins 1, 9, and 13 are already jumped.
- Adding jumpers 7, 10, 11 and 16 allows "out-of-band" transmission.
- But the receiver becomes thoroughly confused, and is not tunable.
- The solution: DON'T jump 11 and 16.
-
- So the final steps are:
- 1) Add jumpers to 7 and 10.
- 2) Give the VCO can a 1/2 turn clockwise if you're moving to higher freqs.
- 3) Reset radio and reprogram rcv and xmit freqs, and rptr offset.
-
- Hope this helps!
