From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Carl KO4SSA via groups.io Sent: 25 February 2022 19:10 To: [email protected] Subject: [YaesuFT847] new, hello Hi FT-847 fans!! This is Carl, KO4SSA. I just purchased a used 847 on eBay, from Japan. I’m wondering how to modify for US bands. As delivered only TX 144-146 and 430-440. I’ve searched high and low on the the web, including Colin, G1IVG’s page, and emailed him!! Haven’t heard back. I’ve tried several solder joint configurations and will not TX on 146.52 or 445000. About to give up. Is the Japan stuff transmit range burned into EPROM or something???? Colin lists several HF coverage configurations and I am able to transmit on 14.550!! (into dummy load of course) I point out as evidence that changing the solder jumpers did do SOMETHING. Also, initially the cross-band repeater item was not available on the menu and now it appeared. More evidence that changing the jumpers did something. Thanks Carl This email has been scanned by BullGuard antivirus protection. For more info visit www.bullguard.com |
