$40 Pawnshop special: Yaesu FT-2800M Overview, repair, MARS/CAP and EI7KO Mic Mod

[@Radionut]

I have a 2800 in that I bought brand new probably back in 2002 or something like that when I first got into amateur radio. I still have it no issues I did the mud on it to get it to TX wherever it can RX. Any more tips or tricks

[@EricTechstuffs]

A mic tip on the 2800 - If you take the mic apart - you will see a small plastic piece in between the mic element and the body. Many remove this and open the mic hole up a bit on the outside case to improve audio quality. I know the 2800 are prone to overheating on long-winded QSOs so some have put fans on the 2800 to keep them cool.

Pulls more than 10 amps on High power. Any issue with the power supply, or do you just run on low power?

[@EricTechstuffs]

I run it on another supply. But if using the 10 amp supply I only only use low. Thanks for watching!

@@EricTechstuffs Muito obrigado, resolveu meu problema, agora tenho outro desafio, ajustar as potencias de um FT3000 de um amigo meu com o mesmo problema

[@EricTechstuffs]

@@charlesascanio1 Ainda bem que pude ajudá-lo, meu amigo. Não sei muito sobre o FT3000. Não encontrei muita informação sobre isso. Você poderia tentar as instruções FT-2900?
