Yaesu FTM-10R Extended Tx & Rx Modification Tx & Rx 140.010 to 173.995 and 430.010 to 469.995 Mhz.
I performed this procedure on my newly acquired FTM-10R on 1/8/2008 after prolong pondering. Remember, while this procedure worked for me it may not work for you and I assume no responsibility for damage to your radio nor legal complications arising from your operating out-of-band. This project should not be attempted unless you are comfortable working with very small surface mount components. Ken Navarre, KC6IFF 1. I removed the four small Phillips head screws that attached the control head to the radio body. I separated the control head from the radio.
2. I removed the four Allen head bolts and washers from the radios top cover. I removed the cover being careful not to pull on the speaker wires. I then disconnected the speaker and removed the radio cover. 3. With EXTREME care I removed the 0 ohm jumper shown below in the red circle. (After first removing the wrong one and having to replace it. Bummer !)
I used a very small needle point wire clipper to cut the jumper and carefully removed all the debris.
4. I reset the radio using the following procedure: Press and hold the [VOL/SEL] key while turning the radio on. Rotate the DIAL knob to the following RESET MENU item: SF4 RSET SYS Press the PTT key. Confirm YES [Y] will be displayed on the display panel. Press the PTT key again to RESET the radio system. Note: This reset removed previously programmed channels. 5. I reconnected the speaker connector and replaced the four split ring washers and four Allen head bolts. I tighten the bolts sequentially to ensure a good weatherproof seal. 7. Finally I reconnected the control head cable and reattached the control head to the radio body using the 4 Phillips head screws. The photo below shows the former location of the 0 ohm jumper after it was removed and the FTM-10R was tested for proper functionality.
This modification permitted my FTM-10R to transmit FM from 140.010 to 173.995 Mhz. and from 430.010 to 469.995 Mhz. - Ken

INSTALLATION

This chapter describes the installation procedure for integrating the FTM-10R into a typical amateur radio station. It is presumed that you possess technical knowledge and conceptual understanding consistent with your status as a licensed radio amateur. Please take some extra time to make certain that the important safety and technical requirements detailed in this chapter are followed closely.

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION

Inspect the transceiver visually immediately upon opening the packing carton. Confirm that all controls and switches work freely, and inspect the cabinet for any damage. Gently shake the transceiver to verify that no internal components have been shaken loose due to rough handling during shipping. If any evidence of damage is discovered, document it thoroughly and contact the shipping company (or your local dealer, if the unit was purchased over-the-counter) so as to get instructions regarding the prompt resolution of the damage situation. Be certain to save the shipping carton, especially if there are any punctures or other evidence of damage incurred during shipping. If it is necessary to return the unit for service or replacement, use the original packing materials. Then put the entire package inside another packing carton to preserve the evidence of shipping damage for insurance purposes.

INSTALLATION TIPS

To ensure long life of the components, be certain to provide adequate ventilation around the cabinet of the FTM-10R. Do not install the transceiver on top of another heat-generating device (such as a power supply or amplifier). Avoid heating vents and window locations that could expose the transceiver to excessive direct sunlight, especially in hot climates. The FTM-10R should not be used in an environment where the ambient temperature exceeds +140 F (+60 C).

SAFETY INFORMATION

The FTM-10R is an electrical apparatus, as well as a generator of High RF (Radio Frequency) energy. You should exercise all safety precautions that are appropriate for this type of device. These safety tips apply to any device installed in a well-designed amateur radio station. Never allow unsupervised children to play in the vicinity of your transceiver or antenna installation. Be certain to wrap any wire or cable splices thoroughly with insulating electrical tape, to prevent short circuits. Do not route cables or wires through doorjambs or other locations where they may become frayed and shorted to ground or to each other. Do not stand in front of a directional antenna while you are transmitting into that antenna. Do not install a directional antenna in any location where humans or pets may walk in the main directional lobe of the antenna's radiation pattern. In mobile installations, it is preferable to mount the antenna on top of the vehicle, if feasible, this will utilize the car body as a counterpoise and raise the radiation pattern as far away from passengers as possible. During mobile operation when stopped (in a parking lot, for example), make it a practice to switch to Low power if there are people walking nearby. Never wear dual-earmuff headphones while driving a vehicle. Do not attempt to drive your vehicle while making a telephone or auto patch call while using the optional DTMF microphone. Pull over to the side of the road, whether dialing manually or using the auto-dial feature. Warning!: High RF voltage is present in the TX RF section of the transceiver while transmitting. Do not touch the TX RF section while transmitting.

MOBILE INSTALLATION

The FTM-10R must only be installed in vehicles having a 13.8 Volt negative ground electrical system. Mount the transceiver where the display, controls, and microphone are easily accessible, using the supplied Mobile Mounting Bracket. The transceiver may be installed in almost any location, but should not be positioned near a heating vent or anywhere where it might interfere with driving (either visually or mechanically). Make sure to provide plenty of space on all sides of the transceiver so that air can flow freely around the radios case. An antenna and an antenna cable are not included in the box. Purchase them separately to accommodate your transceiver installation. The DC power cable draws a large current when transmitting. The power cable should be wired as short as possible, and connected directly to the battery. (Do not use the cigarette lighter socket for power connections). Never remove the fuse holders from the DC cables Never connect the transceiver directly to a 24 V battery. Select a low-loss coaxial cable to connect the transceiver with the antenna. Use the shortest length possible. Select a quality, high efficiency VHF/UHF antenna, and mount it in a good location on the car to obtain the maximum performance from the transceiver. (NOTE: An antenna designed with a matching device that forms a low DC resistance to ground may have poor reception on the AM broadcast band.) The antenna depends on good grounding to realize maximum performance. Contact your dealer for information on transceiver and antenna installation. If alternator noise exists, use a line filter in the DC power cable connection. IMPORTANT: Select a location which can support the weight of the FTM-10R transceiver and does not interfere with your driving.

Mobile Power Connections

To minimize voltage drop and avoid blowing the vehicle's fuses, connect the supplied DC power cable directly to the battery terminals. Do not attempt to defeat or bypass the DC cable fuse - it is there to protect you, your transceiver, and your vehicle's electrical system. Warning! Never apply AC power to the power cable of the FTM-10R, nor DC voltage greater than 15.8 Volts. When replacing the fuse, use only a 15-A fuse. Failure to observe these safety precautions will void the Limited Warranty on this product. Before connecting the transceiver, check the voltage at the battery terminals while revving the engine. If the voltage exceeds 15 Volts, repair the vehicles voltage regulator before proceeding with installation. Connect the RED power cable lead to the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal, and the BLACK power cable lead to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal. If you need to extend the power cable, use #12 AWG or larger insulated, stranded copper wire. Solder the splice connections carefully, and wrap the connections thoroughly with insulating electrical tape. Before connecting the cable to the transceiver, verify the voltage and polarity of the voltage at the transceiver end of the DC cable using a DC voltmeter. Now connect the transceiver to the DC cable.
