Yaesu ft 1900 changes back to channel 2 on every power up

I have the same radio.

Does the radio work? Could it be the battery that's getting hot?

The rubber power button is impregnated with carbon and when pressed, it makes contact with two points on the printed circuit board, turning on the radio. This button eventually wears out and needs to be replaced, which is a rather easy process.

I've performed the operation four times - takes about 15 minutes. The button is available from Yaesu.

I also tried "repair kits" for these buttons which are supposed to replace the conductive surface. Both times, they failed again within a couple of weeks.

The upside is the new button is not as quite as tall as the original and requires depressing it below the surface of the case to switch, which prevents accidently turning off the radio.

Good luck, and 73

This usually indicates a problem with the firmware, or the radio thinks that it is connected to a computer but it isn't. Basically, it is failing self test.

It might also be due to corrupted memory as well. You can reset the radio by popping the door off the bottom of the unit, and turning the switch marked backup off. Then apply power to the radio, and turn radio on. Everything has just been reset, and with a bit of luck, might begin to act like you would expect. The Backup switch turns the memory battery on and off. If it is dead, it may need to be replaced before the radio loses power again. See below for link to manual.
