Hidden Settings
The table below shows the Hidden Function Settings for the FT100. The
Yaesu Global column has suggested values from Yaesu to set them back
to an average value should they become lost or corrupted. Radio #1 and
Radio #2 are settings from radios contributed by two U.S. customers for
comparison. The blank 'Your Radio' column is intended for you to print
out this form and fill in with your own settings in the event that you start
making changes and want to get back to your radio's original settings.
To view your hidden function settings, power up the radio while pressing
A, B, and C simultaneously. Let go of all buttons and then press the
FUNC key for 1/2 second. This will open up all function settings for
editing, i.e., the normal ones and the hidden ones as well. If you don't
see the hidden functions, you will need to scroll down past regular menu
item 01 or beyond regular menu item 66 to get to them.
A word of caution is in order. If you intend to make any changes, record
all the original values first. Most of these settings are unique to each
radio and are determined by using alignment procedures described in
the FT100 Service Manual. Also, DO NOT SCROLL THROUGH THE
LIST OF ALTERNATE COUNTRY SETTINGS in F57 and F58 unless
you don't mind having your radio do a complete reset where it will lose
all of the VFO, memories, and regular menu settings. It's not necessary
to save the setting. Just scrolling through the various country choices for
settings will cause this to happen so resist the temptation to do it unless
you don't mind re-entering all of your regular menu and memory settings
back into the radio. You may check to see what your settings are for F57
and F58, but you'll wipe out other information if you try to look at other
settings that are available for those functions. If you're curious,
alternate settings are shown in the table below.
The reset should not affect the hidden function values but make sure to
copy them down in a safe place just in case. It is basically the same as
both reset procedures as stated on page 102 of the manual.
