Well, that just proves that you never stop learning!
I had no idea that the keypad could be used for doing that. I'll give that a try when I get back to the shack.
Does it only do it if the links ae present on the rear ACC1? Maybe your modified 901R provides this hardwired linkage?
I have a hardcopy of the technical supplement in the shack so I'll look further into that too.
I'll be working on the rig over the next couple of weeks to get it back into operational condition. I'd also like to do whatever improvements / upgrades that I can perform on it - especially upgrading any filters etc. I'll have a look in the files section to see what I need to put onto a shopping list.....
Thanks Gents - superb knowledge on here.....

Re: [Yaesu-FT-980] FT-980 Used with a transverter - frequency display to suit VHF / UHF band
Phil,
You can do this from the front panel by selecting the "Key -> V/U" buttons. I have an FTV-901R that's been modified by Yaesu to work with the '980 and IIRC it toggles those lines as its band switch is moved. (Would hook them up and try an experiment but the transverter is stored away at the moment).
The FT-980 Technical Supplement provides info on which lines are used with a transverter for frequency display. I'd given some thought to rewriting the firmware and adding our 222 and 902MHz allocations to the available selections if space permits.
