Yaesu FT-450D on 60m band mods

Hello,

there I am posting the MARS modification for Yaesu FT-450D which can open the radio also for 60m band as I found it on Youtube. (thank You to author "Yvo Muniz" for posting it and sharing his job.

There is another way for FT-450D mod to open TX for 60m band in text form (thanks to John, M0OBU)

* Remove covers (Top/Bottom) 
* Remove front panel (lift 4 plastic clips) Remove metal shield from body (screws) Locate jumpers JP2002 - JP2009 Clear top jumper.
* Fill # 6 from top with solder (bridge)
* Replace front & covers.
* Reset by holding IPO/ATT+AGC +NB & turn on.
* Rotate multifunction knob left(CCW) till "type" appears in display.
* Briefly press "F" key then press NB ("t" appears) Press & hold "F" key 3 seconds.

A long BEEP will sound & screen will clear before indicating frequency.


Hope it helps,
