FT-23R power save off mods FT-23R putere salva oprit mods
Hi All, I would like to thank all who sent replys to my request Ior inIo in trying to disable the
power saver circuit in the 23r. Toate Max, as dori s multumesc tuturor care au trimis Replys
la cererea mea de inIormatii, n ncercarea de a dezactiva circuitul de economisire a energiei
n 23R. I use it Ior mobile and portable packet and have not had much luck in making it work
unless the Ireq. Eu-l utilizati pentru pachet mobile si portabile si nu au avut prea mult noroc n
a Iace s Iunctioneze cu exceptia cazului n Irecv. would stay busy. ar rmne ocupat.
The mod is as Iollows. Mod este dup cum urmeaz. Take apart the 23R and look at the
control board. Ia deoparte 23R si uita-te la placa de control. There will be a bundle oI wires
tied together basically over pad #10. Nu va Ii un mnunchi de Iire legate mpreun practic
peste pad # 10.
It is marked, as 10. Este marcat, de 10. Soder a jumper across this pad or bridge with soder,
put the radio back together. Soder un jumper pe acest pad sau pod cu soder, pune radio napoi
mpreun.
You will Iind that the battery liIe is not near as long with out the saver circut. Veti gsi c de
viat a bateriei nu este aproape de atta timp cu aIar circut protectorul. I would guess iI you
wanted to do some mode mod iIication. Presupun, dac a vrut s Iac unele iIication mod
modul.
(Sorry Wasnt watching the line) (Ne pare ru wasnt uitam la linie)
One could put in a very small switch and just disable it when needed. Unul ar putea pune ntr-
un comutator Ioarte mic si doar a dezactiva atunci cnd este necesar.
I basically always use the battery eliminator so the battery liIe dosent bother me. Eu practic
Iolositi ntotdeauna Eliminator bateria astIel nct dosent viat a bateriei m deranjeaz.
Thanks again to all the help. V multumim din nou pentru tot ajutorul.

ModiIying the FT-23R is remarkably simple. ModiIicarea FT-23R este remarcabil de simplu.
Removing one solder blob (pad #7, clearly marked, 10 o'clock position Irom the speaker, 9
o'clock Irom the microprocessor) lets the radio receive and transmit Irom 140.0 to 163.995
MHz. Eliminarea unui blob de lipire (pad # 7, marcate clar, pozitia 10 din diIuzor, 21 de
microprocesor), permite de radio primeasc si s transmit 140.0-163.995 MHz. The two
circuit boards with surIace-mount components are uncluttered. Cele doua placi cu montare pe
supraIat componente sunt ordonat. When opening the radio, be careIul not to lose the tiny
coil-spring inside the battery-release button. La deschiderea radio, aveti grij s nu piard
mici bobina de primvar n interiorul butonul de eliberare a bateriei.
I haven't measured receiver sensitivity, nor do I know about perIormance in big-city RFI; the
FT-23R is considerably more sensitive at 162-MHz weather Irequencies than is my modiIied
Icom IC-02AT. Nu am masurat sensibilitatea receptorului, nici nu stiu despre perIormant n
marele oras RFI, FT-23R este mult mai sensibil la Irecvente de 162 MHz vreme dect este al
meu modiIicat ICOM IC-02AT.

Both oI my radios (USA) were shipped Irom the Iactory in conIig #3. Ambele radiouri mea
(SUA) au Iost expediate de la Iabric n conIig # 3.
They can be converted to conIig #1 without re-tuning just by changing the jumpers. Acestea
pot Ii convertite la conIig # 1, Ir a re-tuning doar prin schimbarea jumperii. Tuning range
can be Iurther expanded by changing to jumper conIig #7. Tuning interval poate Ii extins
ulterior prin schimbarea la jumper conIig # 7. The FT-211 has separate VCO's Ior transmit
and receive and will lock over about 38 MHz Irom approx. FT-211 are separate VCO pentru
transmite si primi si va bloca peste aproximativ 38 MHz de la aprox. 130 to 180 MHz. 130 -
180 MHz. The FT-23 has only one VCO and the overlapping lock range (Xmt & Rcv) is
about 25 MHz Irom approx. FT-23 are un singur VCO si gama de blocare se suprapun (Xmt
& AN) este de aproximativ 25 MHz de la aprox. 135 to 175 MHz. 135 - 175 MHz. Don't
Iorget, iI you adjust the VCO you must re-align every electronically tuned stage in the Iront
end oI the radio. Nu uitati, dac v reglati VCO trebuie s v re-align Iiecare etap electronic
acordat n cele din urm Iata de radio. The transmitters can be tuned Ior somewhat higher
power output above 164 MHz but at a great power loss at 2m. Emittoare poate Ii reglat
pentru putere ceva mai mare mai sus, 164 MHz, dar la o pierdere de putere mare la 2m.
The commercial memory mode will cause these Iunctional changes: Modul de memorie
comercial va provoca aceste modiIicri Iunctionale:
1. When in the MR mode, the channel number will be displayed instead oI Irequency.
Atunci cnd n modul MR, numrul canalului va Ii aIisat n loc de Irecvent. You can
toggle back to the original "amateur" mode display by pressing F Aveti posibilitatea s
comutati napoi la original "amatori", modul de aIisare prin apsarea F . . Pressing F
Apsarea F takes you back to commercial mode. te duce napoi la modul comercial.
However, when switching Irom D to MR, the display will always revert to the
commercial mode. Cu toate acestea, atunci cnd trecerea de la D la MR, ecranul va
reveni mereu la modul comercial.
2. The Iunction oI the Dot Functia de Dot button will be exactly reversed. buton va Ii
exact invers. That means now you can press just one button (Dot) to get into or out oI
the Primary Iunction. Asta nseamn c acum puteti doar s apsati un buton (Dot)
pentru a intra n sau n aIara Iunctiei de primar. The Pri Iuntion (in memory mode) will
be indicated by a large "P" on the leIt side oI the display. The Iuntion Pri (n modul de
memorie), va Ii indicat printr-un mare "P" de pe partea stng a ecranului.
3. The only indication oI low power operation is in the memory mode. Singura indicatie
de operare redus de energie este n modul de memorie. A "C" will appear in the upper
leIt corner oI the display (where the primary "P" used to be). A "C" va aprea n coltul
din stnga sus al ecranului (unde primar "P", Iolosit pentru a Ii). The bargraph will
always read 100. The bargraph va citi ntotdeauna de 100.
4. The band scan is now even more useless. Banda de scanare este acum chiar mai mult
inutil. The uP will painIully count Irom 50 to 300 MHz. Sus va conta dureros de 50-
300 MHz.
I have been able to modiIy my FT-211RH to scan at about 10 chan/sec by speeding up the uP
clock. Am Iost n msur s modiIice meu FT-211RH pentru a scana la aproximativ 10 chan /
sec prin accelerarea ceas sus. This also speeds up every other uP Iunction by x5, so you have
to be Iast on the "F" key. Aceasta, de asemenea, viteze de pn la Iiecare Iunctie, alte de x5,
deci va trebui s Iie rapid pe "F" cheie. No squelch sensitivity or synthesizer lock-up
problems have been encountered with this modiIication while scanning. Nr lipi probleme
sensibilitate sau sintetizator de lock-up au Iost ntmpinate cu aceast modiIicare n timp ce
de scanare.
Basically, I replaced the 800 KHz ceramic resonater (pn CSB800K) with a Radio Shack 3.58
MHz color burst crystal. Practic, am nlocuit de 800 KHz resonater ceramice (pn CSB800K),
cu un Radio Shack 3.58 cristal de culoare izbucni MHz. The resonater is located on a small
(2.5 sq cm) sub-board that is stuck with double sided tape to the radio's processer board. The
resonater este situat pe un mic (2,5 mp cm) sub bord, care este lipit cu banda dublu Iat la
bordul de radio processer. This sub-board is actually an outboard clock Ior the uP. Aceast
sub-bord este de Iapt un ceas de exterior pentru sus. The schematic I got with the radio
showed the uP's internal osc. Schematic Am cu radio au artat OSC up intern. being used - so
I don't know iI my version diIIers Irom newer radios. Iiind Iolosit - asa ca nu stiu daca
versiunea mea diIer de la radio noi. This mod works Iine untill you turn the radio oII and
then back on again. Acest mod Iunctioneaz bine pn cnd veti opri aparatul de radio si apoi
napoi din nou. A startup glitch then wipes out all oI the memories. Un glitch pornire apoi
sterge toate amintirile. To delay the oscillator start up, I added a 220uF 10V electrolytic cap
between the red wire on the sub-board and ground. Pentru a ntrzia oscilator pornire, am
adugat un capac de 220uF 10V electrolitice ntre Iirul rosu pe sub bord si la sol. Positive
goes to the red wire. Pozitiv merge la Iirul rosu. A convenient ground is the bare wire located
diagonally across Irom the red wire (on the sub-bd). Un motiv este convenabil srm goale
situat n diagonal de la Iirul rosu (pe sub-bd).
So Iar I have been unsuccessIul with this mod on the FT-23R HT. Pn acum am avut succes
cu acest mod de pe HT FT-23R. Since it uses the uP's on board osc, there seems to be no way
to delay it's startup. Deoarece utilizeaz up OSC la bord, nu pare s existe nici o modalitate de
ntrziere este de pornire. Every time you turn on the power the uP resets. De Iiecare dat
cnd porniti de putere reseteaz sus. II anyone can solve this problem I would be very
interested in hearing Irom you! Dac cineva poate rezolva aceast problem, as Ii Ioarte
interesati s auzim de la tine!
These are not intended to be step by step instructions. Acestea nu sunt destinate s Iie
instructiuni pas cu pas. Also, you will want to have a service manual beIore you begin. De
asemenea, veti dori s aib un manual de serviciu nainte de a ncepe. II you're not Iamiliar
around surIace mount components you may want to "learn" on something with cheaper
consequences. Dac nu sunteti Iamiliar n jurul componentelor de montare pe supraIat poate
doriti s "nvete" pe ceva cu consecinte mai ieItin. Finally, don't adjust the VCO's unless you
are Iamiliar with how a synthesized radio works. n cele din urm, nu ajusta VCO, cu exceptia
cazului sunteti Iamiliarizat cu modul n care Iunctioneaz un radio sintetizat. Use your own
judgement! Folositi judecata ta!

Greetings and hello radio amateur operators. Salutri si operatorii de salut radio amatori.
The topic is increasing the Iunctional Irequency coverage oI what has been probably Yaesu's
most popular handheld tranceivers. Subiectul este cresterea acoperirii Irecventa Iunctional a
ceea ce a Iost, probabil, Yaesu lui emittoare cele mai populare portabile.
To save manuIacturing costs, Yaesu engineers designed multiple personalities in the same

How to do it: Cum se Iace:
1. Contemplate invalidating your warranty. Contempla invalidnd garantie. No beginners
beyond this point. Nr incepatori dincolo de acest punct. II you don't know how to
solder, don't learn here. Dac nu stiti cum s lipire, nu invata aici. Ask an elmer to
assist. Cere un Elmer pentru a ajuta.
2. II you treasure your memories, write out your contents oI your radio on a piece oI
paper. Dac comoara amintirile, scrie continutul dvs. de radio pe o bucat de hrtie.
When you make the changes, the CPU runs a small diagnostic and see that the jumpers
have been changed. Cnd Iaceti modiIicri, procesorul ruleaza un diagnostic mic si
vezi c jumperii au Iost schimbate. It will ERASE ALL PRIOR SETTINGS. Aceasta
va sterge toate PREALABIL SETTINGS.
3. Dissassemble your tranceiver. Dissassemble tranceiver dumneavoastr.
4. Find the line oI solder connections running down the CPU board. Gsiti linie de

Yaesu FT-23R 2m walkie talkie anthology Yaesu FT-23R 2m antologie walkie talkie
by Frank Reid, W9MKV1 de Frank Reid, W9MKV1
As the happy owner oI several Icom radios, I went to a hamIest intending to buy a new IC-
u2AT but my Iriends talked me into a Yaesu FT-23R instead. Ca proprietar Iericit de mai
multe radiouri Icom, m-am dus la un hamIest care intentioneaz s cumpere un nou IC-u2AT,
dar prietenii mei mi-a vorbit ntr-un Yaesu FT-23R loc. I'm glad! M bucur!
Construction: The case is die cast metal (u2AT is plastic) and is well protected against
weather except as noted below (see DTMF). Constructii: Cazul este metal turnat (u2AT este
plastic) si este bine protejate mpotriva intemperiilor, cu exceptia situatiilor semnalate mai jos
(a se vedea DTMF). The carrying case is rather unattractive, made oI odd smelling material; I
don't trust its belt loop or Velcro Ilap closure. Cazul care este neatractiva, din material miros
ciudat, nu am ncredere n bucla curea sau clapa de nchidere Velcro. I removed the belt loop
and cut a slit Ior the (optional) belt clip. Am scos bucl pentru curea si a tiat-o Iant de
agttoare la centur (optional). I used a paper punch to round the ends oI the slit to prevent
tearing. Am Iolosit un pumn de hrtie pentru a rotunji capetele de Ianta pentru a preveni
ruperea.
Human Engineering: Yaesu did an excellent job oI making a complex radio easy to operate.
Human Engineering: Yaesu Iacut o treaba excelenta de a Iace un radio complex usor de
operat. I especially like the rotary knob which selects presettable channels (10) or tunes in 5
or 10 kHz steps. mi place mai ales butonul rotativ care selecteaz canale presetate (10) sau n
trepte de asteptare kHz 5 sau 10. Six keyboard buttons (one is an alternate Iunction key)
control programming and scanning. Sase butoane tastatura (una este o cheie de Iunctia de
supleant) programarea de control si de scanare. UP/DOWN keys duplicate the knob's
Iunction, and have an alternate 1 MHz "giant step" capability. Tastele SUS / JOS duplicat
Iunctia butonul lui, si au un supleant 1 MHz "urias pas" capacitatea.
The keyboard lock Iunction does not aIIect the rotary switch. Functia de blocare tastatura nu
aIecteaz comutatorul rotativ. Keyboard lock (indicated by an "L" symbol on the display) is
remembered when the radio is turned oII (good idea!). Blocarea tastaturii (indicat de un "L",
simbolul de pe display) este amintit n cazul n care radioul este oprit (idee bun!). The FT-
23R has odd oIIset capability. FT-23R are capacitatea de oIIset impar. A button above the
transmit switch unsquelches the receiver (transmits tone burst on European model). Un buton
de deasupra transmite unsquelches comutatorul receptorului (transmite spargere tonul pe
model european).
There is no display illuminator, which would be practical with knob tuning; display lights in
keyboard controlled rigs are nearly useless when it's too dark to see the keyboard. Nu exist
nici o iluminare display, care ar Ii practic cu tuning buton; lumini de aIisaj n tastatur de Ioraj
controlate sunt aproape inutile atunci cnd este prea ntuneric pentru a vedea tastatura.

Not surprisingly, the tiny Ilat speaker isn't very loud, and rattles terribly at Iull volume. Nu
este surprinzator, vorbitorul mici plat nu este Ioarte tare, si zornie teribil la volum maxim.
Speech Irom a belt mounted FT-23R is easily drowned out. Discurs de la o centur de montat
FT-23R este usor inecat. It Iits a shirt pocket, somewhat inconveniently with DTMF2 and
large battery installed. Se potriveste buzunarul de la cmas, oarecum inconveniently cu
baterie DTMF2 si mari instalate. It can be secured in a shirt pocket by hand lanyard attached
to epaulet oI military style shirt, or longer string with sliding cord lock, over the shoulder with
loop around opposite armpit. Acesta poate Ii prins ntr-un buzunar de curea de mn atasat la
epolet de camasa in stil militar, sau string mai mult cu blocare cablul de alunecare, peste umr

Antenna: Antena:
Standard BNC connector. Conector standard BNC. The "short rubber duckie" supplied with
the radio is more Ilexible than most similar antennas, and appears very durable. De "drgulit
scurt de cauciuc", a Iurnizat cu aparatul de radio este mai Ilexibil dect cele mai multe
antene similare, si pare a Ii Ioarte durabil.
DTMF: DTMF:
The optional Touch ToneTM generator mounts between the radio and battery, plugs into a 4
pin internal socket, and is attached by 4 long screws. Optional generator Touch ToneTM
monteaz ntre radio si bateria, se conecteaza la o priza intern cu 4 pini, si este atasat de 4
suruburi lungi. It makes the radio about 3/4 inch taller, and 1/8" thicker. Other accessories, eg,
the mobile power adapter, also mount between radio and battery; one envisions a Iuture Iully
equipped wlakie-talkie 3 Ieet long! Aceasta Iace ca radio aproximativ 3 / 4 inch mai nalt, si 1
/ 8 "Alte accesorii mai groase, de exemplu, adaptorul de curent mobile, de asemenea, montare
ntre radio si baterie;. Un prevede un viitor complet echipat wlakie-talkie 3 picioare lungi!
The delicate looking membrane type DTMF keyboard is not sealed around the edges.

Memory Cloning: A cable Irom the earphone jack oI one FT-23R to the microphone jack oI
another transIers memory contents (useIul Ior emergencies). Clonarea Memorie: Un cablu de
la muIa pentru csti de un FT-23R la muIa de microIon de un alt continutul memoriei
transIeruri (util pentru situatii de urgent). A switch on the bottom oI the radio (accessible by
removing the battery) puts the radio into clone mode. Un comutator de pe partea de jos a radio
(accesibil prin scoaterea bateriei) pune la radio n modul de clona. You cannot reach the clone
switch iI the DTMF module is installed. Nu puteti ajunge comuta clona daca modulul DTMF
este instalat.
Scanning: De scanare:
The FT-23R has CHANNEL-SCAN (all 10, with lockout), PRIORITY SCAN (checks ch. 1
every 4 seconds) and BAND SCAN (no presettable limits). FT-23R are CANAL-SCAN (toate
cele 10, cu blocare), PRIORITATE SCAN (cecuri CH 1 la Iiecare 4 secunde.) Si BAND
SCAN (exista limite presetate). There is no timeout resume scan mode. Nu exist nici un
timeout relua modul de scanare. Scan rate is 2 preset channels per second. Rata de scanare
este de 2 canale presetate pe secund. Band scan is much Iaster; 1 MHz in 9 seconds 10
kHz/step, 18 sec 5 kHz/step. Banda de scanare este mult mai rapid; 1 MHz, n 9 secunde
10 kHz / pas, 18 sec 5 kHz / pas. I encountered NO "BIRDIES" (spurious receiver
responses) during 140-164 MHz band scan, with a shielded 50 ohm dummy antenna. Am
ntlnit NU "birdie" (rspunsuri Ialse receptor), n timpul banda de 140-164 MHz de scanare,
cu o anten 50 ohm ecranat manechinului.
Instructions: Well written in good English, but the book contains NO schematic or block
diagram (Boo!). Instructiuni: Ei bine, scris n limba englez bine, dar cartea nu contine nici
Schema bloc sau (Boo!). The receiver Iirst IF is 10.7 MHz (not listed in speciIications).
Receptorul nti dac este 10,7 MHz (nu sunt incluse n caietul de sarcini). Being careIul not
to transmit, I connected the antenna jack to a spectrum analyzer and Iound a -6 dBm (75
ohms) local oscillator signal 10.7 MHz below the receiving Irequency. Fiind atent s nu
transmit, am conectat antena muIa pentru un analizor de spectru si a gsit un dBm -6 (75
ohmi) semnal de oscilator local 10,7 MHz de mai jos Irecventa primire. The spectrum
analyser revealed a unique signature: the FT-23R's battery saver Ieature turns the receiver oII
(Ior 600 ms) and on (300 ms), in a cycle beginning a Iew seconds aIter the receiver is
squelched (and not scanning). Analizorul de spectru a relevat o semntur unic: caracteristica
FT-23R economisire a bateriei transIorm receptorul oprit (pentru 600 ms) si (300 ms), ntr-
un ciclu nceput la cteva secunde dup ce receptorul este aruncate (si nu de scanare). I have
observed no bursts oI TVI when the PLL relocks. Am observat nici izbucniri de TVI atunci
cnd relocks PLL. Knowing the IF allows using the image response trick to listen to ATC
while at airports. Cunoasterea IF permite utilizarea truc rspuns imagine pentru a asculta ATC
n timp ce la aeroporturi. (Multiply Iirst iI by 2, add to the desired aircraIt Irequency, tune the
radio to the sum; AM comes through weak but readable.) I tried it at the local airport; the
Yaesu's FM detector does not perIorm nearly as well on AM as does the Icom IC-02AT or IC-
28H. (Inmultiti prima, dac de 2, se adaug la Irecventa aeronavei dorit, ton de radio la suma;.
AM vine prin slab, dar usor de citit), am ncercat la aeroport local; detector FM Yaesu a nu
eIectua aproape la Iel de bine pe AM ca nu ICOM IC-02AT sau IC-28h.
Extended Frequency Range: Extended Interval de Irecvent:
"Circumcising" the FT-23R is remarkably simple. "Circumcizia" FT-23R este remarcabil de
simplu. Removing one solder blob (pad #7, clearly marked, 10 o'clock position Irom the
speaker, 9 o'clock Irom the microprocessor) lets the radio receive and transmit Irom 140.0 to
163.995 MHz. Eliminarea unui blob de lipire (pad # 7, marcate clar, pozitia 10 din diIuzor, 21
de microprocesor) permite radio primeasc si s transmit 140.0-163.995 MHz. Too bad it
won't do National Park Irequencies. Pcat c nu va Iace Irecventelor National Park.
The two circuit boards with surIace mount components are uncluttered. Cele doua placi cu
montare pe supraIat componente sunt ordonat. When opening the radio, be careIul not to lose
the tiny coil spring inside the battery release button. La deschiderea de radio, aveti grij s nu
piard arcuri elicoidale minuscule n interiorul butonul de eliberare a bateriei. I haven't
measured receiver sensitivity, nor do I know about perIormance in big city RFI; the FT-23R is
considerably more sensitive at 162 MHz weather Irequencies than is my modiIied Icom IC-
02AT. Nu am masurat sensibilitatea receptorului, nici nu stiu despre perIormanta n oras mare
RFI, iar FT-23R este mult mai sensibil la Irecvente 162 MHz dect vremea mea este
modiIicat ICOM IC-02AT.
Power: Putere:
Receiver drain is 19 mA in power save mode. scurgere Receptorul este de 19 mA n modul de
economisire a energiei. The FT-23R operates at any voltage Irom 6 to 15v. FT-23R opereaza
la orice tensiune de la 6 la 15V. Three rechargeable battery options oIIer small size, long
duration, or high power. Trei optiuni de baterii rencrcabile oIerta de dimensiuni mici, de
lung durat, sau de mare putere. Rated output at 7.2 v is 2.5 watts; a Iriend's rig and my own
both produce 3.5 w with FNB-10 (7.2 v, 600 mAH) battery packs. Putere nominal de la 7,2
V este de 2,5 wati; amator un prieten si propria mea att produce 3.5 w cu FNB-10 (7,2 V,
600 mAh), baterii. Two replaceable cell battery packs are available (six AAA and six AA).
Dou pachete de nlocuibil baterii sunt disponibile (sase AAA si sase AA). Alkaline cells are
invaluable Ior emergency service; AA cells are more cost-eIIective than AAA's. Celulele
alcaline sunt de nepretuit pentru serviciul de urgent; celule AA sunt mai rentabile dect AAA
lui. The three NiCd battery packs require three diIIerent wall-charger types (15-hour charge
time). Cele trei pachete de baterii NiCd nevoie de trei tipuri diIerite de perete ncrctor
(timpul de incarcare de 15 ore). The optional automatic Iast charger charges any NiCd pack in
5 hours. ncrctorul optional rapide, automate taxele orice pachet NiCd n 5 ore.
Speaker Microphone: One is available Irom Yaesu. DiIuzor MicroIon: Una este disponibil de
la Yaesu. The Icom speaker-microphone works with Yaesu transceivers iI a resistor inside the
spkr-mic is replaced with a lower value, and It still works with Icom radios aIterward.
Lucrrile Icom diIuzor-microIon cu transceivere Yaesu dac un rezistor in interiorul SPKR-
microIon este nlocuit cu o valoare mai mic, si nc mai lucreaz cu radiouri Icom dup
aceea.
My FT-23R, with DTMF and 7.2 volt 600 mAH battery, was $249 Irom some nice Iolks Irom
Kansas City who didn't soak me Ior sales tax, at least overtly. My FT-23R, cu DTMF si 7.2
volt 600 mAh baterie, a Iost 249 dolari de la unii oameni Irumos din Kansas City, care nu m-
au macerat pentru impozitul pe vnzri, cel putin Itis.
