That's true: it's a design problem cured by Yaesu as follows:
1. On the transceiver AF unit: change the R-3161 chip resistor
from 1K to 4.7K ( for the "D" ); for the "MP" you have to find
the similar resistor.
2. On the DVS-2 unit :
* on the top side of the board make an etch cut between C-1003
and Molex connector J-1001 ( it's a very tight space ).
* connect a 5.6K resistor from C-1003 nearest end to J-1001
pin 6.
* on the bottom side of the board, make an etch cut on the
trace placed at abt 1'' from the upper/rigt side of the J-1001
solded pins.
* add a 5.6K resistor across the etch cut you just made.
* add a 5.6K resistor from the J-1001/Pin 5 to the nearest
ground trace.
* add a 5.6K resistor from J-1001/Pin 6 to the nearest ground
trace.
If you have a fax, I can send you the drawing. I'm looking
myself for the DVS-2 schematic diagram and wiring.
