(MARS Mod + Power Test)
In this video, we crack open the Yaesu FTM-6000R and unleash its full potential with a frequency expansion hack (aka MARS mod). With the help of some insanely precise USB-C powered hot tweezers, we remove a microscopic SMD component and unlock transmit capabilities from 137 MHz to 174 MHz and 420 MHz to 470 MHz.
What you’ll see:
• Step-by-step MARS mod with surgical-level precision
• Close-up view of the SMD resistor you’ll need to remove
• Real-time transmit power test across expanded bands
• Full sweep: VHF, UHF, FRS, GMRS —even the limits it can’t cross
• Hot tweezers in action — a total game changer for surface mount work
Legal disclaimer: This is for educational purposes. Transmitting outside authorized bands without proper credentials is not legal in most jurisdictions. But learning how this all works? Totally fair game.
