Yaesu FTM-6000R HACKED! Full Band Expansion with Hot Tweezers 🔥 (MARS Mod + Power Test)

Post author By admin
Post date May 9, 2025

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. 😉

GoldenMate CRIUS 100B Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery (Ask Dave 1266)

Post author By admin
Post date May 8, 2025

We look at the GoldenMate CRIUS 100 B 100Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate battery (see below for links to manufacturer). It’s the same shape and size as the GoldenMate LFP12100 battery they sent me about a year ago. I did the 1 year review of the LFP12100 last November, 2024, (see https://youtu.be/l64WYUF-IZ4). I now have another manufacturer’s battery undergoing its one year review, so I plan to use this one in my RV. I will need to change out the charger, though–a subject I need to do lots of research on.

This paragraph is from the manufacturer: 🔋 Power Your Adventures with the Goldenmate 12V 100Ah Bluetooth LiFePO4 Battery! Whether you’re on the water, off the grid, or on the move, this waterproof, high-performance lithium battery is built to keep you powered up and connected. With Bluetooth monitoring, IP67 waterproof rating, and 4000+ cycles, it’s the ultimate solution for RVs, boats, solar setups, and more. 💥 Check it out on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJ2KH4CY. USE DISCOUNT CODE: davidvip (15% OFF) (for a limited time).🌐 Or visit the official site: https://goldenmateenergy.com/collections/best/products/12v-100ah-group-31-bluetooth-ip67-waterproof-lifepo4-lithium-battery
