It is possible to activate any 10 MHz segment between 130 and 160 MHz on the
FT 209 Handy from Yaesu. First you have to solder in the bridge 7 on the
control unit board ( pcb with the keypad ). Now after a reset the display
shows you "0000" with the first digt flashing and you have to enter
the receiving low, receiving high, transmitting low and transmitting high
frequency (only the first 4 digits !). For example :
If you wish a receiving segment from 142.500 to 151.800 and a transmitting
segment from 144.000 to 146.000 MHz you must enter the follwing after the
reset :
1 4 2 5 D
1 5 1 8 D
1 4 4 0 D
1 4 6 0 D
Finaly you must programm the repeater shift. The shift is n o t set to
600 kHz. Enter 0 6 0 0 F shift. That's all !
The PLL locks only between 138 - 152 MHz successfully and transmitter
works only between 140 - 149 MHz. If you want to use other frequencies
you must realigment the rig.
