Hi All.
I'm new here, so be kind.......? ? 8-)
I've got two 980s - one of them was my first solid state rig, bought new in the mid-80s and the other is a donor rig I got hold of for a song some 20 years ago.
I seem to remember that when the rig is set to the 10m band, and certain pins are taken to GND on the ACC1 socket, the frequency display could be made to display 50 / 144 / 432 etc as the 10m band was traversed in 500KHz jumps. The rig stayed on 10m, but displayed the desired transverter frequency 'band'.
I cannot find this info documented anywhere however. I seem to remember reading about it in an RSGB RADCOM magazine (probably within the review of the 980 by G3SXJ I think his call was) but even then I don't recall a source for the info being stated. I can't see anything mentioned in the 980 manuals......
Does this ring any bells with anyone or have I been sniffing the PCB degreaser a bit too much.....?
