4. That's about it as far as the mod goes. Reconnect the speaker and screw the cover back on.

NOTICE!

A. Don't freak out when you go to turn the radio back on. The radio does a factory reset. All the indicators on the dispay will light up and then show your original factory settings.

B. All your programming will be lost! I use the following software for programing. G4HFQ Radio Programming Software
It works great and gets good reviews over the junk Yaesu recommends. I just reprogrammed my radio to what is was before.

C. You will have to change the radio type from a drop down menu in the software if you are using that to put programming back in. My radio type went from "81" to "80" after the mod.

That's it!

Here's a pic of my setup as I am reprogramming it in my Dodge. I can easily move the radio between my FJ40, truck, and suburban.
