Robert,
Try this:
(1) Turn OFF the FT-817 power.
(2) Press and hold the "F" and the "V/M" buttons and turn the FT-817
power ON.
Also, I note that your unit was made in March 2001 ans is Lot 29! What
is the xxxx (unit number) please. This gives us an idea of the number
of 817s produced? Anybody got a higher lot number (YMLLUUUU)? [Y =
last digit of yr, M = month with C=January, LL= lot, and UUUU = unit
in lot LL]

I just bought a FT-817 at HAMCOM in Dallas a week ago. Works like a
charm. Since I am an Army MARS member, I tried the extended frequency
mod.
I did the solder blobs on pads 1-4, and cleared the solder blob on
the 5th pad. No extended TX on HF/2M/440.
Have done the power + V/M + F reset many times with no effect.
Also, when I do the power + V/M + F reset the display comes up
160m - L
1.800.00
Nothing else shows. Nothing works until you hit one of the other
function buttons, then the display reverts back to normal.
Although I haven't looked at it with a magnafying glass, I am pretty
sure none of the pads are shorted to each other.
My serial number starts with1E29xxxx
I am baffled. Has Yaesu changed the firmware/hardware?
