Most, if not all, amateur radio cases are black, with only a limited number of options available to change the displays to something more personal.
Recently, more options for personalizing and customizing the displays have been introduced to the market. In the case of the Yaesu FT-991A, just considering the menu items discussed in this video, there are over 1/2 million variations available.
This allows you to make your 991A into your 991A.
This video shows how changing these 8 menu items can easily customize the radio to better suit your personality and operating styles.
006 - Display Color
007 - LED Dimmer
008 - TFT (display) dimmer
009 - Bar Marker Hold
115 - Scope Display Mode
116 - Scope Span
117 - Spectrum Color
118 - Waterfall color
The video also shows you how to save all of your settings, using RT-Systems Radio Programming Software, making it much easier to recover from a reset.

Tom, great video. Thank you. The RT Sys menu programmer has several times saved my life. I experiment a lot with the digi modes and it is not uncommon for things to get screwed up. The ability to quickly re-load a saved menu config that you KNOW works fine has turned out to be an absolute Godsent and has saved me countless hours. I truly cannot recommend that program high enough. I sometimes just cange one of the colors on the screen so I can be sure that the change(s) took hold. Thanks for yet another excellent video Tom. Yeasu for sure brought out a winnner with FT991(A) Albert. EI7II.

Thanks again for another great video on FT991A. As I look through the RT Systems software it shows only certain menu options. Is there a way using the RT Systems software to backup ALL of the settings in the Yaesu FT-991A ? For example let's say you have all the settings programmed in for FT8 I would like to be able to save ALL settings to a backup config file. Or let's say that I have all of the settings for VARA HF and I want to save ALL settings to to a config file ? Is this achievable using the RT Systems software or is there another software title that I can use to backup all settings on the FT-991A.

@ND3N Год назад

Hi Greg, Sorry this took so long to answer, but I had to check myself to make sure I was passing along good info. The RT-Systems S/W for the FT-991A includes two different programs. The first is the "FT-991A Programmer" which is the standard program we're all used to. The other is the "FT-991A Menu Editor" which has a listing of every menu item, organized by function (not item number). You can read and write from/to your rig and save your settings. In a (dot)991AM file, so you can set your rig once and recover it if needed. You can make changes on your rig and save it to your computer and vice-versa. Hope this helps, Tom, ND3N

No Problem - here's the link - www.rtsystemsinc.com/FT-991A_c_807.html ... Also, you probably don't need the cable as it's a standard USB/Printer cable that (I believe) came with your rig... 73 de Tom, ND3N

@BennyCFD Месяц назад

You know all those billion, trillion, gazillion menus and sub menus do not make this a better radio. There are many, many, many non SDR radios that could probably out perform modern SDR radios........

@ND3N Месяц назад

I guess with increased technology comes increased control over that tech…. Can you imagine the first fully IA rig…. Just turn it on, and it will make perfect contacts in all modes, while you can sit back and drink margaritas…. Just check your log every so often…
