New Yaesu Ft-857

[shepsvettes]

I bought a new Ft-857 and want to do the mars mod. This radio has the jumpers diffrent from any I have seen on the internet. The only jumpers that are bridged are 1001 and 1002 and they have a surface mount resistor. everything I have read says to leave 1006 jumped but it is open. Has anyone run into this? Thanks.

Good luck with the mod. I was thinking of buying a 857d soon myself and doing the mod on it. I have an 897d that I bought from another operator. The nice thing was he already did the mod. My soldering skill is not the best. Might try that circuit writer pen, some say it worked well for them.
