Re: GEN mode probelm
Hello Gang,
Maybe I misunderstood the question but The came from the factory to able to just receive in GEN mode. Yaesu and others had ways to get the 980 to transmit on GEN. I bought a FT-980 that

Re: GEN mode probelm
Yes, I will use an oscilloscope to view the frequency.
The current is high even without microphone, but only in USB.
Thanks.

Re: GEN mode probelm
Jose,
Fred has a good point.? It would be good to know what your rig is putting out in GEN mode.? You were saying it was drawing a significant current.? If it were generating a real USB signal,

Are you thinking on autooscilations)?

Re: GEN mode probelm
Put a dummy load and a frequency counter on the antenna connector.
Key the rig.
Is RF being generated? If so, at what frequency?

Re: GEN mode probelm
Thanks, Roger,?
I will check it. Battery on radio are new for a moment.
Is only with USB at any band. (The current rise up to 10 A without any modulation on microphone. In LSB all is ok).

Re: GEN mode probelm
Hi Jose,
A good idea by Wald to check for GEN TX mods. There is a Gen folder in the Files section with some RF board pictures and info.
I was looking for items to add to the Files section and found

Re: GEN mode probelm
Hi, Wald, very thanks for reply.
This radio is not new, it is a gift of a friend.?
Maybe one circuit is defectived. Very thanks.

Re: GEN mode probelm
Hello Jose,
I checked this scenario on my FT-980 and it is not doing that.? I tried to key up on 14.005 and 14.5 MHz. No Ic current in any mode, on any freq.
Have you had this radio since new?? If

Re: CAT Interface
Yes, I have already read on this topic. Aninterface for RS232 binary with +12 and -12 V is missing. I amthinking of incorporating the MAX232 that internally has the generation of thenegative source

Hi Dave,
Like you I have two FT-980's. I had forgotten about the FT newsletter also covering the FT-980. I opened up my CDROM FT Newsletter and started looking at it again. It brings back fond

Re: CAT Interface
Roger,
Glad to meet the co-owner of the FT-980 list at .io. I bought my first FT-980 in 1983. At 76 I have some difficulties working on my rigs.
I have two FT-980's now and copied the pages from

Re: CAT Interface
Hi Jose,
I can’t see how your circuit can work. Looking at the RS-232 side pin 2 (RWD). Where is the RS-232 side – 12 VDC source for logic One? Where is the RS-232 side + 12 VDC source for logic

Re: CAT Interface
But what is the differences between FIF-232 and mine? All these interfaces works with transistors in two regimens: cut and saturation, because the logic binary works with them.
I use optos to separate

Re: CAT Interface
I used the FIF-232 years ago to get on PSK31. Look at EBAY as there are sellers who are selling interface cables for the FT-980. My FT-980's (I still have 2)
but I have an SDR transceiver that does

Re: CAT Interface
Hi Jose, It seems like a lot of work to save less than $40. Search FIF-232 on eBay.
