FTH-2005, any info on it? How to operate it? VFO mode??

[HudsonScannerGuy]

I acquired a Yaesu FTH-2005. It does not have a keypad, and has 4 buttons. SCAN, PRI, a blank button above PTT, and a LOW mode switch ontop below the Volume knob. I havent gotten it to power on due to dead battery, and no power supply. So when I do get it working, how do I
1: Reset the unit completely
2: Program without a PC and no keypad... maybe the blank button and CHANNEL knob ??
Any insight would be good.. I looked up the FTH 2005 and i found its a public safety grade VHF 2m radio.. FCC licensed for use on VHF pub safety.. so any help would be awesome.

Try this:
Yaesu FTH 2005 VHF FM xcvr programming

As a Part 90 certified radio, it won't have a VFO mode like an amateur radio.

The circuit board is identical to the ft-x3r series. There is no vfo mode but you can reset the board and it will forget the factory settings. It is now set up for high vhf. Beware that it is not a broadband unit so don't expect D.C. To daylight.

I wrote the mod file for the ham version. Easy to google kb2jpd mod file.

I just wanted to figure out if there was a way to program in amateur rx only VHF repeaters. I have no keypad on my radio, just a few buttons, PRI, SCAN, LOW, and a blank button above PTT. No DTMF keypad. and a dead battery.
