FT-980 Problems

Bo Steyer All Messages By This Member #191 开云体育 I purchased the Ft-980 as a package from local ham (NX0A) who was down sizing.? A technician friend was able to get it going and it worked for a few weeks, but now it’s stuck on a 75 meter frequency, can’t change bands nor ham or general. Had excellent audio. Any Ideas what to look for? Bruce -KB0K ? Sent from for Windows ?

There are two modes where the band switching buttons are disabled: the memory modes "MR" and "RX-M". The other vfo modes "VFO" and "RX-V". First thing is to press the "VFO" button on the front panel under the "------------SELECT-----------" label. Then retry. If that doesn't work, I would next suggest unplugging the radio, removing the memory back batteries (behind the bottom cover battery "door"), waiting at least 2 minutes to clear the memory. and then replacing with fresh batteries. I have seen various HMI issues when there are no batteries, or if the batteries are marginal/dead. If these don't work, we'll continue looking ... -- -Mat Breton, N8TW
Fred, N8YX All Messages By This Member #193 I sent the same advice as a reply email to the group. For some reason it didn't seem to make the list. Pop the batteries with the power off, leave it off for a bit then power on. The radio should come up on 7.000.00 and all tuning controls, buttons, etc. should be functional. If not, time to start digging further. 73 - Fred, N8YX
Bo Steyer All Messages By This Member #194 开云体育 Thanks, Did what you said and it came around, more or less. Had to make sure of freq, was listening 3977 and went to transmit it jumped to 7000.0 All is well so far. I wouldn’t have considered the battery pack as? the problem. Anyway, thanks. Maybe back for more advise. ?
