Workshop note
Document before opening the case
For FT 847 Volume Control MOD, board revision and market version are part of the procedure. Instructions for another variant can be wrong or unlawful.
- 01
Baseline
Verify normal operation first and preserve settings, photographs, and repeatable measurements.
- 02
Safe handling
Disconnect power and antenna, use ESD protection, and avoid RF alignment without suitable instruments.
- 03
Compliance and verification
Confirm permitted bands and power, test into a dummy load first, and keep a reversible path.
Safety boundary
Do not transmit as the first test.
Begin with inspection, continuity, and current-limited power; then use a dummy load, suitable instruments, and a permitted band.
