The FT-8900 is a suberb rig, but has quite low transmit fm-deviation on 10m. This however can easily be adjusted in the hidden setup menu.
Just do the following:
- switch off the rig
- switch it on again, holding the LEFT v/m and the (RIGHT) hyper memory (6) buttons. Release the buttons.
- the display now shows "F1 SETMOD RESET"
- sequentially push the following buttons: (one after the other) LEFT "low , v/m, hm, scn", then RIGHT "low, v/m, hm, scn" (8 keys in total.!)
- the display now shows "A0 menu".
- Push RIGHT dial button ca. 2 sec. and release ---> A1 menu is displayed.
- Repeat this procedure until A4 menu is displayed.
A4 is the 10m. deviation menu.!
- Turn RIGHT dial button untill DEV.3FH is on display, this is the max. adjustable deviation, ca. 2.8 Khz peak.
- Turn rig off.... and turn it on again...THAT'S IT.!
Good luck with the mod..! (works perfectly with my FT-8900R) But remember, you do it on your own risk..
