Interferences
While traveling, I accidentally discovered an interesting station on the air.
Look like that the transmitter had a some defect and was not functioning properly
causing significant out-of-band emissions.
I believe the owner was notified about the issue with their transceiver, as I have not observed these interferences on subsequent visits.
Please use only serviceable TRX.
Good luck and 73!

Hi there, I don't have any details regarding the FW upgrade.
Look at your pin,s rs-232 ?? if i look in te manual yaesu 991a than yaesu mention pin 3 input , not pin 2 ???you speek this and do that. , help pls , thanks for the good video
Hello, Yes, there's a bit of confusion. I know a several users also attempted to connect a GPS via pin #3 without success. Please carefully read the original Operating Manual (2111A-KS-1), specifically on page 19, in the top right corner: "[GPS/CAT] ② SERIAL OUT/RXD (GPS DATA IN)." So, what does this mean? When using CAT, pin #2 serves as data output. However, if you change the setting in the transceiver (field 028) to utilize an external GPS, pin #2 undergoes a change in its properties, now functioning as a data input. The Yaesu FT-991A is a powerful transceiver with numerous features and flexible settings. Delve into its functionality as thoroughly as possible. By adeptly applying various settings, you can achieve excellent results. 73!
@@UT4UFA TNX for you explenation sorry for my bad english , i have a GY-NEO6MV2 gps module from alie can you thel me witch connextion i must wire to the yaesu ft 991A (i think TX from the gps To pin 2 yaesu) or is it RX To the yaesu the gps is blinking blue everry second , must i reset the tranceiver ?? or must i use a ttl converter ? have a nice day and evening PA0EHJ 73"s
To start, download the datasheet for your GPS receiver. Identify the port type: RS232 or TTL/CMOS to determine if a level converter is necessary. Additionally, take into account the settings on both the transceiver and the GPS receiver. It will take some time , but only then you can determ compatibility.@@janvanderlinde3039
@@UT4UFA Tnx for you reaction pls can you tell me which ( RX or TX ) i must connect from the GPS module TO the 991A pin 2 ? RX OR TX ??? keep strong we think of u and try to help
All details regarding the connecting and assigned RX/TX ports and the remapping of data ports should be available in the datasheet. Any actions you take are at your own risk.@@janvanderlinde3039
Perhaps it's a TCXO (Temperature Compensated Xtal Oscillator), which may use (basically) phase 'jitter' or little frequency steps to keep the average frequency exactly on the mark. ...Maybe... Maybe not. 🙂 73.
Hi, because I have the same radio I immediately thought that if someone don’t want to open up the radio there’s an easy way to do it. Just access the normal user menu. Can’t recall which menu item but is called “freq adj” or something. You have a narrower range but still… for small alignments is doable. Anyway, very good that you calibrate your radio in frequency. So many hams are out of freq. 73
Hi, thanks for the interesting note. Certainly, there are instances when it becomes necessary to adjust the Reference Frequency swiftly and safely for specific reasons. A quick press of [MENU/SETUP], scroll to the field labeled "039 REF FREQ ADJ," with the original parameter set at "0." Here, you can easily make quick readjustments. If anything goes wrong, you can easily revert back to "0" without the risk of crashing the service menu of your radio. DE UT4UFA, 73!
thanks for taking the time to check and specify so more information is provided to other users. Best wishes 73 Diego

I speak a little English, but I understand this very interesting and good maked video. Thanks!
That was quite interesting, I have just completed a Sony TCK611s and notice that the belts I ordered were oily like tacky. And there did seem an un-eveness on the capstan flywheels which I kind of let go thinking it was just the nature of the belt as well as the tape deck having sat around for years. But then the elastic in the mode player whind up pulley began giving issues. This was the belt just not capable of reacting to the expansion and contraction of the Mode motor changing directions.
Excelente trabajo. Hay otro modelo que tiene un att de -20dB y mide la potencia. Seria muy bueno poder hacer una entrada de audio independiente y poder ajustar la DEV. LU3MKH 73
Fantastic video!

its a very good idea with separate battery casing
Yes, If necessary, I can change the battery or use cable and connect the tuner to an external power source.
Those GPS modules typically provide a 1PPS discrete that could blink an LED to indicate reception. Two colour LED might be used for subtle combined effects, power and signal in one. Best if blinking was subtle.
Where did you get the module from
The module is outdated and is pretty hard to find. I most likely suggest finding a more modern version of this.
@@UT4UFA ok thank you. Any suggestions where to look for a module that will work? I just looking for the gps to work on my 991a
@@charlesriley9426 Well, there are many good GPS modules present on a market. You need one with an NMEA data format, TTL or RS232 port, and a data rate of 4800-38400bps. Try the NEO-6M GPS module, and do not forget about TTL to RS232 converter.
That was good investigative tech work! Thanks for sharing! The only thing I would have done different: set the power levels to 10w, 32w, and 100w so the s-meter is evenly divided as the powers are increased. Each power level increasing by 5db, which is almost an s-unit. For me, I guess I would have used 4w, 20w(for 10mhz),100w - each power level 7db apart and a very even progression up the s-meter and quieting of the receiver at the other end. Thanks for another great video - helping empower dx-sr8 owners! Oh! By the way, congratulations on owning a Dx-SR8 - they are great rigs at a decent price point.
Thank you for the interesting note. This is not a first modification of my DX-SR8. It was changed the backlight of the display from cyan to green. Also, I decreased IF gain, which made the receiver not so noisy.
@@UT4UFAHow did you change the backlight colour?
To alter the backlight color, a complete disassembly of the front panel is required. Exercise caution during this process, as both the LCD and the controller on the PCB are sensitive to static and mechanical damage. At the top of the LCD module, there is a small strip with LEDs. Ensure you select LEDs with the same size as the factory-installed ones but with the desired color. Additionally, be prepared to replace current limiter resistors, as the new LEDs may have a different current consumption. This is a concise overview of the procedure.@@drankurbaruah
@@UT4UFA thank you so much!!
Nice video my friend, What was the little board you had in the video when you first install the GPS? I have try to make my GPS works but I didn't know about that converter. can you please send me a link about that little board? 73 de PJ2SM. Thank you for your videos!!!!
Hello, thank you for your interest in my project. That board is a dual, back and forward converter (adaptor) TTL to RS232. I use it because my GPS receiver has only TTL output, the transceiver itself has RS232. Ask Google: "max3232 module" And you will find a lot of variations of this board. About your GPS: Use the GPS receiver with an RS232 line. You will need to send data in to pin #2 on DB-9 Menu #028: GPS select. GPS1 or GPS2. (GPS2 constant update of the coordinates) Menu #029: RS232 rate. The data speed of the GPS and FT991 must be matched. The small satellite, in the right top corner, will be ON only when the receiver captured satellites and calculated coordinates. 73! de UT4UFA
Wow! I Admire your courage!... I´ll cosider to do the same with mine!, Thank you for share.
Perfect match of the housing to the cover. I like that you took your time and the rig survived it without a single scratch.
My radio was much clearer in sound.
Nicely done!
you have confused ferrite toroid and iron powder toroid. Iron powder toroid uses metal dust mixed with epoxy ,with low metal dust densityso it is not as hard as ferrite.
Man you can make the plug-in gps nodules for selling it!
Mate it is definitely the good add-on to the radio, however i think it have to be installed on the back side. Also have to be possibility to turn it off and the LED will eat your eyes during the night use :) IMHO!
Thank you, There are many ways to install a receiver, I just found the best position for me.
What component are you actually tuning. VR120 or another part
VR120, VR119, VR114
My radio only puts out 49w on full power, brand new right out of the box. I know the radio is a few years old but it was never taken out of the box until I received it from a friend.
49 Watts is too low. Did you use the proper source of power - 13.8V 25A? Also, did your power meter and dummy load as well?
dirty semiconductors, lol

Tried to programme ist with a pickit2 - but althought the pickit is detected by my PC the pickit itself does not detect my "PIC16F1938". Neither in Windo$ nor in Linux. In Linux I can at least try to read the "PIC16F1938" but all I get are zeros. (pk2cmd -PPIC16F1938 -R -J -GE00-3F and pk2cmd -PPIC16F1938 /GP0-F) So I did not dare to write my modified hex file back onto the "PIC16F1938". Lucky that I do not know the Linux command for writing to hex file to the "PIC16F1938" 😁
May I commend you with your video production and I would like to ask you ask a question . Do you know if it is possible to mod this atu to accept a remote tune connection compatable with the Icom IC705 ?
Hello, Potentially, if using the display port of the ATU-100 and interface converter IC, it's possible. But you need to modify or even fully rewrite the firmware for the microcontroller. Regarding this question, I would recommend contacting the creator of this project.
That toroid made me shocked
Awesome project. Can i ask how i can find the trim capacitor and the crystal quartz on ali express? Search words, data values etc.?
Thank you. You know.. I would recommend to find quality parts on Mouser or Digikey, or another trusted vendor. This will allow you to calculate and get a predictable result in your project. Search words: 1. Crystals quartz 32.768 2. Trimmers Capacitors Data values: 1. Crystal, tol +/-5ppm or less. load pF and ESR depend from IC. 2. Cap, 1.5-12pF with lowest ppm/ºC.
@@UT4UFA Thank you for that detailed information, very interesting stuff
Speed of the rotation will jump due to difference in thickness and sound will swim :)
thanks, i see that i should not buy a cheap chinese watch?
is the crystal expensive? i wonder why skmei did not install it like that when new ?
You know, I bought high quality crystal made by Citizen, Japan for the $1.5 which is giving me accuracy +/- 1-3 seconds per month When a regular crystal will cost approx $0.1 and gives accuracy +/- 5-45 seconds per month.
Hi guys, thank you for your comments. I will experiment with both of them, and then decide which one works better for me. If you want, I will let you know how it goes.
Where did you buy this box?
This is a homemade case.
A good idea. One option would be to use a DPDT switch and send the unused antenna either to ground or through a 50 ohm resistor. That'd prevent noise and leakage between the two antennas or, if the switching is between two transceivers, RF from the hot one from getting into the other.
Ok, where did you get the manual for tunig the kit with the pickit?
This is a project from N7DDC, check his page on Github
