How to replace FNB78 with LiPo Battery by IU3HVW
A cheap charger for the FT-897 by G4APB
The hard reset(the master reset) resets all memories and settings to the factory default settings. The soft reset has 2 different resets with different results.
To perform the Hard (master) reset:
Back up all settings if it is possible, using a programming program such as Chirp or Yaesu's programming software.
Power down the radio.
Hold the [HOME] button (Button #16) while turning on the rig with the POWER button (Button #5).
The radio will be reset to factory default settings.
To perform the Soft reset:
There are 2 soft resets. The first soft reset resets all memories and the following settings to their factory default values:
Menu # 06 (AM Step)
Menu # 33 (DCS Code)
Menu # 52 (FM Step)
Menu # 56 (MEM Tag)
Menu # 76 (RPT Shift)
Menu # 82 (SSB Step)
Menu # 83 (Tone Frequency)
To perform this reset:
Back up all settings if it is possible, using a programming program such as Chirp or Yaesu's programming software.
Power down the radio.
Hold the [VM] button (Button #17) while turning on the rig with the POWER button (Button #5).
The radio will be reset to the above settings.
The second soft reset resets all menu settings except the following settings to their factory default values:
Menu # 06 (AM Step)
Menu # 33 (DCS Code)
Menu # 52 (FM Step)
Menu # 56 (MEM Tag)
Menu # 76 (RPT Shift)
Menu # 82 (SSB Step)
Menu # 83 (Tone Frequency)
To perform this reset:
Back up all settings if it is possible, using a programming program such as Chirp or Yaesu's programming software.
Power down the radio.
Hold the [F] button Button #6) while turning on the rig with the POWER button (Button #5).
The radio will be reset to the above settings.
Back up all settings if it is possible, using a programming program such as Chirp, RT Systems, or Yaesu's programming software.
Power down the radio.
Hold both the [BAND UP] button and [BAND DWN] button (Buttons #13) simultaneously while turning on the rig with the POWER button (Button #5).
The relays will start clicking while cleaning. When the cleaning is done, the radio will be in it's normal state.
If the relay cleaning doesn't work for your problem, consider running one of the Factory Reset procedures.

A rough-tough, HF antenna.Both mobile and portable. 80m-75m-60m-40m-30m-20m-17m-15m-12m-10m- 6metre bands. 3.6m tall (3 pieceshaft)- Split 8’ shaft (2 x 1.2m sections) and 1.2 meter stinger including 38cm adjustable stinger. The outreach antenna breaks down and packs into a 1.2metre PVC tube for easy portability and storage. Providing sufficient ground system or counterpoise is used the Outreach can also be used as a portable antenna system . This antenna breaks down to a 1.1m packed length for easy portability.
HF mobile champion
80m-75m-60m-40m-30m-20m-17m-15m-12m-10m-6 meter bands.
1,7m 2-piece shaft,Each section is 0.8m long with 33cm adjustable stinger
The PERTH covers all HF bands, 80-40-30-20-17-15-12-10m
Mobile antenna is 1.7 metres long assembled, with 90cm tuning spike fully extended.
It consists of 80cm main-shaft with a 90 mm 2 piece tuning spike.
The PERTH is ideally suited to fender, gutter or trunk mounting applications, or can be bull bar and tow hitch mounted.
It is easily transported, packing down to 820mm long.
With Outbackers unique integral, L/C matching circuit this antenna mates perfectly with all modern 50 Ohm HF transceivers

Home made mount with holes for mounting both UC1 and 3/8" sockets.And there is also a threaded hole for mounting a small mast for e.g. a magloop antenna.
Such suction cup lifter is very strong and it can be used on any smooth surface,car roof,window or any tiles.It is as strong as magnetmount and it doesn't scratch the surface.I use it in portable activity when there is no possibility to use magnetmount or other mounts
The SlideWinder DX Coil operates from 40 to 10m metres with a 102" or 108" whip. I use this coil with 9ft Tank Whip. Power rating 100 Watts SSB, 100 Watts CW and 25 Watts with digital modes. Coil length 240mm and diameter 40mm. Standard 3/8 24 antenna mount
While driving or being static mobile I use tripple magmount MFJ336S Goliath,magmount Watson W-300S or SIRIO MAG 145 PL and capacitive plate (home made or MAT50).
Being portable I use a tripod,stinger in the ground,3 cup suction glass sucker and some radials or Faraday fabric (108cm x 90cm) instead of radials.Besides very useful jaw mount and also other mounts and adapters.The same when mobile antenna is mounted on a guardrail.
When I am on the seashore the antenna is directly in salty waters or put as close as possible.
My magloops are usually mounted on a tripod,special mount on a guardrail or suction cup lifter on a appropriate surface.
Generally antenna tuner is unnecessary for magloops and mobile whips as my antennas (both mobile and magloops) are resonant.
I have been successfully using mobile and magloop antennas for donkey years,literally in all extreme weather conditions (-25 to +43C,both very dry and very wet) and different places such as balcony,terrace,indoors,seashore,mountains,forests,from hand,boats and car roof,of course.
Instead of radials I often use Faraday fabric 108cm x 90cm. It does its job perfectly,it isn't inferior to radials at all,it doesn't occupy so much place and is less complicated to spread.
CAP ball 40m antenna.I use it both indoor and outdoor,also mobile.Good results! Probably the smallest 40m antenna. Power 100Watts. Dia 150mm, C 9.9pF,L 49.61uH. Bandwidth abt 100kHz
SDC1 manual
Portable folding motorized magnetic loop antenna 40-10m 20W:
Motorized Variable Air Capacitor 2 x 4pF - 120pF/600V and 12V tuning motor installed within water-proof box
The Main Loop dia 69cm (RG213 - coax lenght is 2170 mm )
The Coupling Loop dia 19cm (4mm copper wire)
The feeder RG58
Control unit with 2 push buttons (increase/decrease) and a speed control knob
Total weight: +/- 1kg
The SWR on all bands is 1:1
Great holidays and portable antenna.But also often used indoors or outside on the balcony with great results. Both SSB and CW.
