[Yaesu] Increasing RX sensitivity on FT8900

Wed Mar 9 12:44:05 EST 2011

I recently purchased a Yaesu FT8900 and while it hears the FM satellites
sort of OK, it doesn't hear them as well as the Kenwood TM-V7A it replaced.
The QST review of each rig bears this out, with the 8900 having a high MDS.
Is there a mod through the alignment menus on the FT8900 to increase the
sensitivity on 70cm a bit? I know most Yaesu HF/VHF/UHF models have a way
to do this.
