Subject : UNLIMITED RX MOD FOR FT-470

Here's the one I think you might have been waiting for...

FT 470 Unlimited (more or less) Rx mod
by N8ORO, relayed by N2KYW @ W2SEX.#WNY.NY.USA.NA

It's probably best to start with a clean slate, so reset your rig with the
following RESET mod I recently saw on the bbs (I'm sorry but I didn't write
down the contributor)
Put rig on 2m band
Turn rig off
Hold down MR, 2, VFO, and turn rig on
Let go, turn rig off
Hold down UPARROW, DOWNARROW
Turn rig on
Let go, then press DOWNARROW
Now for the actual mod. This mod is outlined for one band, but must be
repeated on the other band (the following mod, not the RESET mod).
Remember, hardware will only support so much. Outside that all you will
hear is transistor noise. (thus it's really not a tragedy that 1450 is the
upper limit.) Another note of interest - after doing this mod you may
observe a repeating pattern of stations as you traverse the spectrum,
as if the band repeats, while the display continues to increment (Upon
doing a similar, but hardware, mod to my FT 411, I noticed this condition
with a cycle of 34.6 MHz. If you want this mod (411) please send
me a note). This condition has been observed on the 411, but hasn't
been verified on the 470. Keep an eye out just the same. You might
also notice this mod is similar to many of the other mods for this rig
sent lately - this is in fact a 'mod'ification of those mods. Thanks to
the original contributor (again, I've lost track of who that was)

1. Make UHF the primary band, VHF the secondary.
2. Tune to 450 MHz.
3. Press FM, RPTSET, and dial 0000 with the keypad.
4. Turn rig off, then on again.
5. Set the RPTSET to "+".
6. Hit REV. Display should read 1450 MHz.
7. Store this in the "U" memory.
8. Hit REV.
9. Tune to 430 MHz.
10. Set RPTSET to "-".
11. Hit REV.
12. Tune down (and ONLY down) to 600 MHz.
13. Press REV. Display should read 000.00 MHz.
14. Store this in the "L" memory.
15. Press UPARROW once to restore to 430 MHz.

To tune in any freq:

Press MR to bring up the U or L memory.
Put rig in MT (memory tune) mode by hitting MR again.
Use UPARROW or DOWNARROW to scan to freq, then store in mem.
The VFO's operate normally, and TX is still standard.
Have fun, and thanks again to N8ORO.
