This might seem confusing when first viewing the jumper pads... they are to the right of the 5 strip connector for the face plate and are numbered as follows:

.. 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2

.. 19 17 15 13 11 09 7 5 3 1

You will see that the number 17 is lower than the rest and that there are 2 pads above it.. one in line with all the others (this is the correct one) and one that is horizontal and just above the number "17" (this should be left alone).

There are certain frequency combinations that just don't work,and http://www.kb2ljj.com/data/yaesu/ft-5200.txt (1 di 2)08/09/2009 23:27:01

others that require one, the other, or both sides to transmit at low power.
