20 Most Recent Yaesu Ft 1900r Vhf Mobile 55 W Two Way Radio Ft1900 R Questions & Answers

check if the connections have aged to both power and antenna. If all seems well, try powering radio in another location and from a different power source and see if that corrects it, if not, it needs service

Here is a link to a forum that has instructions for how to make the modification: http://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/expanded-tx-mod-for-ft-1900r.37171/

This is an Amateur (Ham) Radio 2-meter Transceiver. It will only transmit on the 2-meter Amateur band (144-148 MHz) but has expanded receiver coverage from 136-174 MHz which includes Public Service and Commercial 2-Way Radio bands. Please note that an Amateur License is required to operate on the 2-meter Amateur Band.

The Yaesu FT1900R is an Amateur (Ham) Radio 2-meter Transceiver. Although the receiver covers from 136-174 MHz, will only transmit from 144-148 MHz. Please note that you do need an Amateur (Technician Class or above) License to transmit on the 2-meter Amateur Band. You no longer need to pass a Morse Code test to get an Amateur License. You still have to pass a written exam, but that isn't difficult if you are willing to study a bit. Contact your local Ham Radio Club or the American Radio Relay League (A.R.R.L.) for more information.

Hi John,Do you have the User manual? If so look under Trouble Shooting section, and hopefully you'll find the cause there.As you have an excellent radio, may I also suggest you join yahoo group specific to your radio Make/Model, the team there have valuble info and advice for your radio, plus you can down load manuals, schematics and software (if available), and it's all free.I hop I have been of assistance to you.Cheers,Peter

the Start button was not pressed; the door is not closed correctly; the child safety lock is activated; delayed start is active.

I suggest check the microphone connector and cable first. Are they OK ?

You mean FT-225RD not DR ? The RD is a base station all mode 2 meter rig. Older model. Set the Channel switch to VFO. Use the Band selector to set the vfo to 144, 145, 146, or 147 mhz. Then turn the vfo knob to select the frequency.

You mean the Morse Key?

Could just be a noisy power supply or a poor ground plane.

Check all coax connections, make sure power out pit is tuned , check all switch's for receive can't get anything in or out , finals may be blown , i liked my old 101 but it sure doesn't like to take any abuse , good luck !!!

The problem is likely the TX/RX relay. If it is old (and I am sure it is) the contacts likely need to be cleaned, or the relay replaced. It is a common enough relay if you want to replace it. Also, pull each PCB card and clean the contacts with a pencil eraser. Pink erasers are OK but the white ones are better as they aren't as abrasive. Hope this helps, VE3CMQ

a couple things you can try if nothing shows on the screen at all. Do a full reset first of all, that's the best step with any hand held radio problems. Try pressing F then 0 and if that don't work try battery removal and if you still get nothing time to call Yeasu they have always had firmware issues with handhelds I have a triband handheld that did the same thing

Check your transmit frequency to make sure it is within the proper range. Also verify proper battery voltage, it will typically transmit with low voltage.

I am not sure, but this usually indicates that the PLL has lost lock. These days, it could be as simple as a poorly soldered connection. I don't recommend that you try repairing this yourself as there are essentially no user serviceable parts in radios these days. Radio repairs these days have come down to board swapping because the parts are so tiny that humans have a hard time replacing (and in some cases, seeing) the parts. Yaesu US has a very good reputation for quality repairs so I'd suggest you send it there. They will likely just swap a board out, but that will be less expensive than having someone spending 10 hours trying to find the problem and repairing it. I know, as I work in a radio shop, and if it isn't something real simple, all we can do is do a board swap.

The microphone should plug into the side connection.

Check the fuses and the power supply. Make sure that the power supply has enough capacity to run the radio, at least 20A! Make sure that the power supply is putting out 13.6V. If you were unfortunate enough to hook the power leads up backwards, then a trace may be blown off the circuit board internal to the radio. Also, it is likely that the reverse polarity diode inside has shorted out. This may cause the fuse to blow when you apply power. If it has blown, it likely took the the trace out inside the radio. If the power supply and fuses are OK, unless you are competent technically, the only recourse is to take the radio into a shop and get them to fix it. If you were upgrading the firmware inside the radio when it happened, then the radio is likely non-repairable. I don't recommend ever upgrading a radio's firmware! If it isn't broken, then don't fix it!!

My guess is that the power supply you are using is not up to the task. You need one that will provide at least 15 amps at full output. Try setting your radio to a lower power setting and see what happens. You may find that you have to upgrade your power supply.
