FM filter is gone, happened to my ft897 too. Replaced two of it and all okay now. No idea if its the same for handy.

Eh didnt know this is already on V2 ... and since 2010! hahahaha its been a long way for this lone thread in ly.net ...

hahahaha the ft450 was a random goodle pic ...

the icom and yaesu handie was mine ... in that lil shack of mine ...

that time no one talks bout hf sets wan la ... expensive and all ...

now lotsa people own hf sets edy i see ... all tx local tarak syiok wanna tx all around the world

Great stuff, let me go home tonight and dig out the schematic and see which are the FM filters. Keeping it on top of my pc for 2 years killed it? Luckily my 8978 still works haha. Thanks wiraone.

Ok just downloaded the schematic and its too complicated. wiraone, know anyone willing to take on this repair? Could also be some alignment menu that I messed up haha.

anybody in this thread going for CW on this 23 Oct? or RAE on the 19 Dec?

I may go for the cw test but not the rae.

eh i thought u took the last CW test?

support lah .. haha, not sitting for it ..

i wish i could come see it also, hard to get off for that week

me!

any tips?

Tips? Last minute one? During the receiving test, ask the testers to do a second run. Most of the time they'll let you guys have a second run. This is the time you can check/fill-in empty spaces.

During sending, if you make an error, do send the 6 Es (dits) and restart sending the word again (yes, repeat the whole word even if you're at the end already .. word and not sentence ah!). The same goes when you make an error while sending the numeric group, resend the whole group. For me, the hardest part while sending is when the alphabet has more than 3 dits .. H,4,5,6 .. haha..

And good luck!

I have tried many many times to decifer CW but I am just tone deaf

I thought I was too, so, I went for a CW class, I still can't decipher CW faster than 12WPM w/o leaving some Another tip, the testers will give you few minutes to copy what you've decipher in your scrap paper into the answer paper, this is the time if you need to use your bahasa skill .. fill in the blank(s).. and that what I did really Only thing, this can't be done on the numeric part of the test, so, you need to concentrate more when receiving the numeric part of the test.
