FT470.7
I have recevied enough enquiries about mods for the Yaesu FT-470
hand held, that I have decided to post what I know.
(This is a transcription of a letter that I received detailing
the CPU programming jumpers that were found experimentally
by Ed Boakes, WB3FLD. Keith, N7HMF)
======================================================================-
Dear Keith,
A little while ago, I came across a Net News item from you about the
Yeasu FT-470 handheld. You asked if anyone knew how to make it
receive the public service band just above the UHF amateur band. Well,
I've figured out how to do that. However, the bad news is that when
you strap the unit for this mode, it only transmits from 430 to 440!
Oh, well.
I gave you a phone call a week or so ago, but it seemed that we kept
missing each other. Anyway, here is what I've learned about the
FT-470: I have located a total of eight straps, the four which you
had written about, to the left of the lithium battery, and four others
located under the flat white cable that interconnects the upper half
with the lower half.
YEASU FT-470 STRAPS
=================================================================----
R69 Vertical, at the 10 o'clock position by the lithium cell
R68 Horizontal, to the lower left of R69
R67 Horizontal, just below R68
R66 Horizontal, just below R67
R71 Vertical, the leftmost of three, to the left of the upper
corner of the ribbon cable connector.
R70 Vertical, the center of three of which R71 is the leftmost
R72 Vertical, the rightmost of the three
R74 Vertical, to the left of the ribbon cable connector, below
the three. (Note that R74 is below an unpopulated capacitor
that does not have a C number.
=================================================================----
There is no R73, or at least it is not on the circuit board and it is
not in the schematic. And, yes, the order of those three is indeed
R71, R70, R72, left-to-right.
R70, R71, R72 select the mode for the UHF portion of the FT-470. The
choices are:
UHF CHOICES
