YAESU FT890/AT mod.  TX 1,5 to 30 MHZ.
======================================
 
 - Disconnect FT890 from all connections.
 
 - Open tranceiver like explained in your "OPERATING MANUAL".
 
 - Locate on the "CONTROL UNIT" jumper point JW 3001 and close it with solder.
 
 - Close tranceiver back and reconnect power.
 
 - Push PROC, AGC-F, IPO, ATT while power ON.
 
 - Now the display shows two digits of numbers and tree of letters (i.e 13 OFF)
   Rotate main knob and set the display to "02 ON". Now press the PROC button.
 
 - Power OFF and then back ON. It's all!
 
 - Now every time you want, you can change the programation, but you will
   allways lose the memories.
 
 - Other settings than "02 ON" are of no interest. This one give you 100 w
   and automatic antenna tuning between 1,5 and 30 mhz.

General Coverage TX Modification for Yaesu FT-890
-------------------------------------------------
 
 1.  Remove top and bottom covers.
 2.  Remove the two side-mounted screws that will allow the front panel
     to hinge forward.
 3.  Look for jumper spot JM3001 on the display unit. It is located
     behind the front panel, near the top edge of the board. It is very
     small and has a circle around it. Make a solder bridge across
     JM3001 with a fine-tipped iron.
 4.  Turn power on and off.
 5.  With power off, press and hold PROC, AGC-F, IPO, and ATT buttons
     simultaneously (you may need an extra hand! :).
 6.  While pressing these buttons, turn the power back on.
 7.  The display will show two digits and "on" or "off". Rotate the main
     dial to make it display "02-on".
 8.  Press PROC button to write the data to memory.
 9.  Turn the power off and remove the solder bridge from JM3001.
 10. Reassemble the radio. The modification is complete.
 
 DISCLAIMER: I have verified this modification, but I do not assume
 any responsibility for anyone's ability to duplicate it. Proceed
 at your own risk.
