Let's replace a broken rotary knob for a Yaesu FT-2600M. This project has been sitting on the shelf for a while as the part was no longer available. We manage to make anew ALPS rotary encoder work and trim it down to size with a Dremel.

Only do this modification if it is legal for you to transmit on these frequencies. In this video i modify a Yaesu FT-857 for extended transmit. This is the jumper combination that worked for my radio. Your results may very, so make sure to test before closing the radio back up.

Icom IC-2200 Frequency Expansion Mod
Good to see ur back!!
What is the approximate value of this today (late 2024)? Thanks
Have one that displays NO MEM when trying to delete a mem slot. Cant name a slot either. Ideas?
10-26-24 my 2900R will not transmit. Any suggestions ? Do you repair ?
Can you transmit on GMRS with it?
It appears someone who worked on it before did not know what he was doing. And that is Way too much solder. You are correct. It looks very bad.
Do you happen to have the faceplate screw spec? Mine vibrated out, and I can't find them. Want to make sure I get the right ones.
Diodes?
watch someone work on a radio and explain nothing this is you vid
I have a Alinco DR-605t and looking on how to replace the burned out Lights. But I can't locate any RUclips video on that. I hope this one is similar. Can I send you my Alinco DR-605t to have the led lights changed to blue?
This was a huge help. Thanks for your work.
i HAVE THIS exact radio. Using the RT software to program. Did I see someone say that the noted modification will disable the programing app? Or did I read this wrong? Thanks for the great video.
I have heard that but haven't confirmed it. I do know that CHIRP has an option for programming the modified FT2900
REALMENTE FALTOU O TESTE FINAL E MOSTRAR TAMBÉM O ANTES E DEPOIS... SEM COMPARATIVO ❗❗❗👽⚡
Cool repair, “interesting” music
Loved your video nice job I have 3 of these radios (uhf) 2 i use for a gmrs repeater and they work great .. And the 3rd one tk 8102h-1 uhf must have been hooked up backwards I cannot get it to come on , a check of the continuity shows a closed circuit, I know enough about this stuff to be dangerous lol where is the reverse polarity protection at on this board ?
I have one of these still brand new in the box , I’m sure it needs recapped by now . I’d like to get in touch with you about doing it and the full 10/11 meter mod if you’re interested ??
Had to stop watching at 3 minutes. That head banging, ear bleeding, so called. "music" ran me off........
Your patience is amazing!!!
I've had one of these refusing to turn on the past few years, so it has just been sitting in storage. I figured I'd take a look at it today, and it's crispy in EXACTLY the same spot. Nice timing on the upload!
I had the MARS mod done on one of my 857Ds. It messed up the automatic frequency shift for repeaters. The mod allowed me to transmit on 11m but since the radio isn't FCC certified it was legal unless under emergency situation. No longer interested in MARS I went back to original configuration. After I joined a volunteer fire department I kind of wished I left it alone. However, transmitting on FD frequencies on a non type accepted radio also puts a frown on the FCC's faces. Now the department uses UHF digital radios that are P25 so it doesn't matter anymore.
I like this. A little something different from radios. I have a few things that need fixing I could bring over! One is an electric scooter that turns on but doesn't move.
It's funny... I did this repair months ago and finally got around to editing the video. About a week after the video was published, the grill died again. I did however use it pretty steady over that time. Be prepared for a part 2 with some upgrades.
Nice fix!
What kind of power do these put out on 10 and 6 meters. I can't seem to find that information anywhere. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for remembering us little people. I thought you might have left for good.
I was right with you till you went willy nilly on the reset.
Hi how can I get in contact with you I'm working on some icom radios presently some with no audio etc.
Info@xporadio.com
Do you have a backup image file? My CMU200 hard drive is broken
Yes I can upload mine. Email me info@xporadio.com
V👍👍👍👍👍😎
Hello. After returning from service, the output power has decreased. Can I restore it?
Wow good work! Might have to send you mine. It seems like too nice of a radio to just toss out. Are you still accepting radio work?
I need a user manual for my FT-8500
I got one
I came across two of these radios at a Garage Sale... One was already opened up they other this Mod worked fine...As for the Radio itself Im using a Magnetic 5/8 th wave and it reaches out and I get good audio reports so thats about it... Thanks
Do you program these?
Yes I do. I'll be doing a program video soon for this model
Do you know how to change the TX output power levels from the default settings on the FT-2980? I saw a video on it one time but can’t find it. So, I know it can be done. Thanks
Did you replace the caps with similar (or close) values? How many screws did you have to remove / reinstall? 150? 200? 🤔
I always use the same capacitance value, but i usually try to go one step up on the voltage rating if i can physically fit them in. Most new capacitors are a bit smaller in size so it works. A higher voltage value capacitor will last longer. It doesn't care what voltage it uses as long as you don't go over the rated voltage. I also purchase the highest temperature rated caps i can get and the longest hours i can get for a reasonable price.
I have a uniden trucker CB also, Can this radio be mosfet modded?
It can but it won't make any power increase. The only reason to do a mosfet swap is because you can't buy the bipolar finals any more.
5:53min 1 ponta menor no soldador faz toda a diferença 👍😃 Muito interessante esse MOD, eu não conhecia, ok ? Apesar do 2200h ter áudio forte do microfone 🎙️. 2 amigos resolveram problema de áudio baixo só resetando o equipamento ! Vale muito a pena fazer ou colocar 1 Mike de ganho, fica bem legal. Seria interessante nesse projeto, puxar 2 fios e junto com o resistor SMD ou não; colocar 1 chave para alterar os modos com ou menos ganho, pois se colocar 1 Mike de ganho poderia saturar, ok ? Mas parabéns pelo vídeo e compartilhamento do conhecimento ! TKS e big 73 from here of Brasil ✌️😆 Fica com Deus 🙏 Saúde e bons contatos é o que eu + desejo para todos amigos.
Please ICOM IC-208-H make the frequency expansion.
I will do a video for this soon as I'm currently repairing one. Just waiting on some parts to arrive to finish it up
You meant you like the variable capacitor for the clarifier not inductor, right?
preformed this to my 2300H prolly 38 years ago maybe more, we worked with the local fire dept. back then, the ic-2300H was my fire radio, worked great, now i'm putting it back in my truck to get back into the ham radio end of it, thanks for the video, I forgot how I did this mod years ago,
You make that look very easy! The contacts are tiny, I did my 'D' model mainly with a silver conductive pen, as my solder skills were not as good a yours. I managed to remove some of the contacts with a fine tipped iron as required, but used the pen for the rest. Been working fine for quite a few years now.
Hi there from Northern Alberta! I just got this radio and did the mod. Worked as it should. Just wondering what programming software you use afterwards? The RT systems is nice but doesn't work after modded. Also chirp doesn't work for the mod. Maybe its possible to not do the factory reset after the mod? Progamming repeaters one by one in the radio is pretty tedious. Would like to hear your thoughts! Cheers.
I believe there is a chirp plug-in for the modified 2900. I will post a link once i find it again
@@salvagegeekupdate?
@@salvagegeek same plug in for the 2980? Chirp? Thanks!!
When you program a memory name in how do you check the frequency of the channel when only the name is displayed?
Pretty scratchy speaker
Good Video. Great radio. I have several of the F-121S versions in service as Packet Digipeaters for Emcom in Florida and they have been rock solid.
I just got a 9800. Not my favorite radio by any means but it works. I should have just spent the extra and got one that matches my KG1000+. I did get the 9800+ if that makes a difference.
Your video helped me a lot in disassembling and reassembling my T1910 laptop. By the way, I replaced only one 1000μf 6.3V capacitor with a similar one and everything worked. Thanks for your video!
Icoms pure simplicity for Mars Modding.
and leds
The LED's were from Digikey. Just blue 3mm ones
would like to know where you got the channel display as well
I got the display off of aliexpress
