I just got a used FT-991 radio. I did a full reset and now when I choose waterfall option all I get is a gray line at the bottom. I did a manual sweep and it still remains gray. Waterfall was working fine prior to the reset. Anyone have any ideas?
North American model. Waterfall was working fine prior to reset.Did you check to see if the radio is a North American model?
Make sure you have Menu 004 selected as Scope. then at the bottom 4 selections in the display, touch Sweep.I just got a used FT-991 radio.

I have the 991A .For clarification, this is the 991 you have and not the 991-A ? My 991-A did some strange things after a reset. If you take a handi-talkie and transmit near your 991, will it be picked up by the spectrum analyzer? You really do have to go through each of the 150+ settings in the menu to see if anything go skewed during the reset.
P.S. The 991 had a "static" display that required the sweep button to be activated. The 991-A is "dynamic". But keying an HT for about 30 seconds while pressing the sweep button a few times should show your signal on the spectrum analyzer.
Patience and persistence, but please report back here as to the results of further tests.
I did, still same issue. I tried re-installing the updates to see if that fixed it. So far no luck!Make sure you have Menu 004 selected as Scope. then at the bottom 4 selections in the display, touch Sweep.
Yes, I am going through those one at a time. I wish I had another 991 to compare the settings.For clarification, this is the 991 you have and not the 991-A ?

Now, you have the 991 Not the 991A, Correct ?Yes, I am going through those one at a time. I wish I had another 991 to compare the settings.
Looks like others here are also trying to help you troubleshoot. They are also looking for clarification as to whether you have the 991 or the 991-A. One that is established, others can help verify what the latest firmware is and compare it to what is showing up in your radio. Perhaps you can make a screenshot or just take a photo of the screen on your radio that shows all the firmware packages that are installed.Yes, I am going through those one at a time.

Hold the sweep button for a few seconds, it will beep twice.I just got a used FT-991 radio. I did a full reset and now when I choose waterfall option all I get is a gray line at the bottom.
