Subject: FT-920 Modification
Greetings,
We have received many calls regarding the frequency expansion
modification
for the Yaesu FT-920 which is currently posted on your web site. The zip
archive contains an executable file that is meant to "flash" the EPROM
of
the transceiver to allow the transmitter to operate outside of the
amateur
bands.
This software will cause irreversible damage the EPROM in US version
transceivers. Replacing this EPROM is quite costly and is not covered
under
warranty. Unfortunately, many FT-920 owners have found this out the hard
way.
To help prevent additional damage to the ever-growing fleet of FT-920s,
we
request that this modification information be removed from your site. We
appreciate your assistance, and would be happy to answer any questions
you
may have in this regard.
73,

Been a while since I poked around in there, but here is a link that
might help you out:
http://www.mods.dk
Specifically there is a .zip file that has a bit of service menu info as
well as a utility that purports to be able to reprogram the transmit
range settings. Its URI is:
http://www.mods.dk/mod/yaesu/ft-920.zip
There is an MS-Word document descrbing the procedure. (Note! I have
nothing to do with the software, but have found this site to be about
the most complete collection of radio mods on the 'Net.)
