Yaesu FTM-6000R MARS/CAP MOD ? ***SOLD*** 

Thanks to EACH AND EVERY ONE of YOU ! I started this channel to talk to my father about what happened in CB and HAM radio since he stopped 1990. ALL that subbed up to me...I cannot THANK each YOU ENOUGH ! You all keep me going !!

I learned how to tune mine more skillfully by watching you - thanks! Folks, the RU-vid app lets you stretch to zoom - really helped on my small screen.

Missed the option on gigaparts, so saving $35, unless they cancel my order as requested 30 mins after entering it. Dawn "ah, the Mars mod..., I can not stop the order, but, maybe let me email them..., " no cc to meme....

I think I shall get this radio, but with the mod performed by someone more qualified than me. My county is starting a SAR team, and this radio would be useful for monitoring the supplied police radios as needed, transmitting on HAM where applicable (I am licensed), but also reaching out to simplex FRS/GMRS radios in a life-threatening emergency situation. This is the exact review I was looking for.

I wish they would include SSB on this radio.

I really like the ftm6000, great little rig. It is much like the 7800r it replaced, with a few little changes..

I can't understand why these major manufacturers haven't gone to a software only lock like the cheap Chinese radios. It shouldn't be this difficult.

Thanks for your video Eric. Excellent job.

It worked. Thank you!

I see you Corrected your Incorrect Spelling from YEASU to YAESU after I Corrected you.😂🤣😜🎙

142.5 watts on 2 meters. Wow.

This worked but did wipe out my memories. No problem, except that I alwards forget you have to intially read from the radio before you write to it otherwise you get an error. I have no idea why that is, but always confuses me.

Mod worked, thank you for taking the time to do this video. I saw a comment that the memory was wiped after. This also happened to me. I originally programmed it with YPS and USB-77 cable. However after the mod it wipes of the memory every time i try to reprogram it with a coffee ALL.RST. Is this expected? Anyone else experiencing this too? Don't misunderstand me, no regret and was at my own risk. Just trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong or of this is a consequence of the mod. BTW, i am able to manually program it and it stays in memory, just can't program it with the software and cable.

Any regrets with this mod ? I know of a FTM-3207 that had this done and continues to work great across the UHF band (its a UHF only radio)

Will/Did the Mars Mod let this transmit in the GMRS freq range (460.000 ish mhz) or was that another mod entirely ?Thanks help full video & thanks for sharing !

Thanks Eric, I rally appreciate your video. I bought a 6000r and flicked that tiny little chip out with my soldering iron. And it does now transmit on GMRS frequencies, for which I am licensed. I have been unable to find and download the SCC-58/SCU-40 usb cable drivers (if you could help me out there, I'd appreciate it.) Thus I resorted to manually programming a couple of repeater channels in the radio. The first is a 2 meter ham repeater (also licensed) and that channel works. I have also tried to program in a split channel for a local GMRS repeater, but it appears the split doesn't work. It seems the only frequency in the channel is second freq that I programmed. I used the same directions from the advanced yaesu 6000r manual for both channels. Have you been able to program any GMRS repeater channels? Is there a trick to it? Thanks for the help. BillPilot

Great vid! Where can I get that purple mat?

Do you have to remove the resistor or can you just dabble a little solder on top to let the current go through the solder instead of the resistor?

Thanks for the demo but how about more detailed info about doing the mod ??? I just bought one of these radios.

I have same radio. Today when I turned it on, every time I try to change a setting or use any button, it’s says “locked” on screen. How do I unlock it? I read the whole manual and there’s nothing about it

I was wondering if there was a good site to have the mod done? I have a FTM-6000R and would like to do this.

Stupid question, but does this mod allow tx on the full 2 meter band?

And AIR RX 8,33kHz!? Aby info? Thx

I have the ftm6000 E is that working in the same way?

Will it open the 220mhz?

Well I guess you are so Smart that you can’t even spell YAESU when it’s on the Face of the Radio and all over the box and owners manual? There is NO SUCH THING as a YEASU.No wonder most of your videos are about the CHILDREN’S BAND.😂🤣😜🤪
