(Hyperscan) ====================================================================== Greetings and hello radio amateur operators. This bulletin adds another hidden feature to the ever growing list of things the Yaesu FT-470 can do. The topic is increasing the functional speed of the Memory Scan using a specific series of keystrokes on the front panel. I wish to thank at this time, KB2JFI, for pointing out this hidden feature and showing me the performance increase of the memory scan. I far as I can estimate, it will go as fast as 15 to 18 memories per second. +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=HOW TO DO IT!!!=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= Hyperscan Mode on the FT-470 by KB2IFJ ========= ==== == === ====== == ====== 1. Go into Alt mode by pressing [F] 2 (Alt). 2. Press the Up or Down Arrow to activate the Memory Scan. 3. When the Scans stops on a VHF frequency on the Left Display (The Main Band), Hit [F] VFO. 4. Press the Up or Down Arrow to activate the HyperScan. 5. To Stop the Function, Press [F] Alt. A preliminary guess is that there is a software loop underway in the VFO and the Memory Scan features. By pressing these sequences of buttons, the register holding the delay count is changed , resulting in a faster loop. Good work, Bobby! +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= -NOTES-NOTES-NOTES-NOTES-NOTES-NOTES-NOTES-NOTES-NOTES-NOTES-NOTES- +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= Special Thanks to: Bobbie, KB2IFJ, for playing surgeon when I told him not to.
