( 9 Stand ) Astatic D104 to Yaesu FT 990

Pin 1 is White
Pin 2 is Red
Pin 7 is Shield/Blue combined

Make sure you have enough battery life to support the kindle, because sometimes it stays in the frozen state if it detects you have little battery life.

If this doesn't work, press , , and keys simultaneously (This is it's soft reset)

The last resort I would suggest is to do a hard reset. Make sure your battery is charged to about an hour, remove the cord from your kindle. Turn your kindle over and open the back, you should see the small hole under the word RESET. Get a paper clip, unwind it and insert the clip into the hole CAREFULLY and press for about 10 seconds. The screen should be blank, and it will restart.

Hope this helps, it it does please leave feedback and vote Thank You and Good Luck

The FT-50R is an extended receive, but dual band (UHF & VHF) amateur transceiver. It is capable of transmitting between approximately 144Mhz - 148Mhz VHF and 430Mhz - 450Mhz UHF.

Typically, the radio will provide an audible warning whenever attempting to operate outside of its intended range(s). The manual has a section on maximizing battery life, and can be downloaded below:

dadoftoffee, hi. I found a manual listed but not sure what you mean by a euro version. Check this out and see if it's something you can use.

I hope this helps you out in your search,, let us know. Mechanic

scotwho, I personally do not know the radio you are asking about, but I do have many years working with radios in troubleshooting. What I am guessing is, if the heatsink gets hot, then whatever is connected to the heatsink has shorted out. Two main parts come to mind here, and that's the audio chip, and the transmitter output final/chip. Possibly the main IC (brain) that controls most everything, but I doubt that. The radio needs to go to a repair shop that can troubleshoot the damage/ and find an answer as to why it occurred. A lot of times the factory's do not use heatsink compound when they assemble the units, and after an x amount of time the part/parts will fail. 10cents worth of heatsink compound can make a radio last a few years longer.
Probably not the answer you wanted but I hope this helps,, let us know. Mechanic
