jrc jst-135

[bob85]

my old 135 has been sitting idle for a few years and i somehow forgot the code to allow it to tx out of band, the mod on mods.dk does not work on my jrc and i cannot find any other mod listed anywhere,
fortunately i remembered the code for mine and im cooking on gas again,

press memo and funcham together
press 140 then press enter then press 1 and key the mic,

(memo/funcham) 140 enter 1

that works on mine and if i ever forget again i have somewhere to find it lol..

Bob, I can't say I have ever even heard of that rig. Care to take a pic and post it?

Ah good 'ol keypad mods. Gotta luv 'em. Reminds me of the AR3500. Had to go through like a 21 step routine...precisely now...don't mess up...but then you got the extra frequencies. What a riot

There's one here RigPix Database - JRC - JST-135

If you ever see a 245, they are made very well like the FT-1000D was, old era Japanese quality at their peak before they started outsourcing to China like everyone else has.

RigPix Database - JRC - JST-245

Too bad they quit making transceivers.

works great !

Just had a few qso's with it on a vertical (you know which one

Im just so impressed by this trx.

Surely there are those who score higher on the sherwood list, but some how it just seems to "fit" my ear.

Kind regards,

[bob85]

i like my jrc too henry, its a keeper, a jst135 and that vertical is a RARE setup

Mod worked perfectly, but power on/off it cleared the mod. Had to repeat the process again. Oh well, I only wanted to see if it worked since I only hang out on the ham bands anyway

 

[bob85]

I have to push the buttons every day for cb band, I use a ts850 with dsp100 on hf

Interesting company. They were based out of NY, unlike most of the other Japanese companies on the west coast. There was a place rather close to me called Gilfer shortwave. They were the prime dealer of JRC around here. The guy that worked there, actually went to work for JRC, as I saw him at Dayton at their booth. They weren't around too much longer.

I never owned one. Almost a few times, but never did. I was familiar with the GE stuff, that JRC made for them. Bulletproof stuff....MPA, MPD, Rangr

I have a bunch of JRC stuff. Three JST-135s (including an HP variant), five NRD-525s, three NRD-535Ds, three NRD-515s and an NSD-515 plus a RAY-152 (rebadged JSB-176) and accessories. The -HP and an NRD-525 are run as twins. I built a custom interface cable and run another -525 (w/ PLAM board) as twins with the RAY-152. Two NRD-515s plus the NSD-515 form a "triplets" station while the other is a secondary receiver for my FT-901 station.

135/525 setup is the best 10/12M receiver I have ever used, bar none. The -HP has a 2.8KHz filter fitted to one of the Option slots and can be selected on transmit. Everyone loves the audio (run with an MD-1 mic - the pinouts are the same). Another has a 2.4KHz filter and gets good reports too. The stock 2.2KHz filter is somewhat narrow but gives good DX punch and I can switch between them as desired.

For those who are interested in JRC stuff I own and maintain the "JRC SWL/Amateur" group on Groups.IO, and another member owns the "JRC Marine" group.
