Why can't I use my brass key to tune my Yaesu FT-2000?

Brad Brown Jun 04, 2021

Hi Donald Stevens, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?
Larry Ng Jun 12, 2021

do you have the free manual for the FT-2000 and read the tuning page. (made 2006, 15 years old now)
you can tune using all modes, if in the right mode, per input.
and yes you can , celled CW, that brass key is really just Morse key, 2 wires and really is just a fancy switch.

this fancy rig has ATU , auto tuner,,, so did you read the page an that here.? page 68+

I strongly recommend read the manual or ask a Elmer class ham, one that knows how to tune any rig.
join a ham club.

if not a ham watch out for MR, FCC.gov and his band of men that fine you using it illegally.
I am licensed Extra class.

like me? and ARRL dues?

hint1: of vast tune it into a dummy load first. to learn now to tune. and be sure rig is ok, then try a real antenna. last.

SOURCE: INTERCHANGE MODULE

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume you are talking about the band modules, right? If so it will accept some in the 6m,2m,and a couple of the 70cm bands. The model numbers I know it will accept are as follows: FEX-767-2,-6,-70A and -70B. If your module is one of these they are interchangeable. BTW, all of these modules are presently discontinued I'm sorry to say. Hope this helps!

What are the tuning steps /procedures on a Yaesu FT 225DR. Works when tested my friends bench but not in my shack. All other 2 Meter rigs have no problem. The manual does not have this. PLEASE HELP.

You mean FT-225RD not DR ?

The RD is a base station all mode 2 meter rig. Older model.
Set the Channel switch to VFO.
Use the Band selector to set the vfo to 144, 145, 146, or 147 mhz.
Then turn the vfo knob to select the frequency.

My Yaesu FT-840 tuning knob turns, but the frequency does not change can you help?

Question edited for correct spelling of Yaesu and correct forming of model number.

There is a service manual here, but you would be better to take to a service centre unless you are very skilled with electronics. It has a Lithium backup battery, and I think I would change that at the outset.

How to disassemble a yaesu ft 250 radio

Ok, but be careful! You may have unscrewed a battery contact already. Remove: antenna, knobs, rubber gasket under knobs, two screws at bottom of battery compartment. Back to top of radio, there are two brass retaining "nuts" with 2 small slots. One on the On/Off and 1 on the channel control. They must be unscrewed. I use an extremely small flathead screwdriver and insert it into one slot and turn counter clockwise. There is a tool and I modified a slip ring pliers for it, but the small screwdriver works 90% of the time. In the field, I use the screwdriver. Slide the housing up off the board. Now, unscrew all the small screws holding the board to the aluminum back. Count them, keep them safe and be certain to reinstall all of them. Now you will see the negative battery contact that may be the problem (loose) and the positive contacts stays put. Put the radio board back into the housing, push it up and I put the battery screws in loosely, then I install the brass nuts and "snug" them. This assures alignment of all the parts. (battery, speaker, antenna, PTT, etc) Let me know if you need more info. patience is key in removing the nuts and reinstall them to "snug", not too tight. Best of luck!

Ft 2900r yaesu all i see on the screen is B0001 i can't see the frequency

Try powering the unit up while holding the Set/MHz button. I did that and it restored the display (and the rest of the radio's operation) back to normal.

The character codes are test-mode displays that correspond to frequencies (in MHz):

A0001-A0640 - 136.000-143.9875 in 12.5 KHz steps B0001-B0400 - 144.000-147.990 in 10.0 KHz steps
C0001-C2081 - 148.000-174.000 in 12.5 KHz steps

I haven't the foggiest idea why this isn't in the manual somewhere, or at least flipped back to normal by a two-key or three-key reset. 73, k2mct

Yaesu FT-726R repair shop?

Hi,

The cheapest way to repair your Yaesu, is to find a friend who is an amateur radio operator, these people know radios, and work on radios as a matter of course as their hobby, otherwise it's off to a radio workshop you go, and be prepared to part with some cash.

There are no freebies with quality branded radios, only cheapies, if you know the right people.

I hope this answers your query, and by the way, I'm in Australia, you never mentioned your location.

Cheers,
Peter
