Doesn't look like the 920 MARS mod requires anything like that. So no idea... Looks like the inside of a "comp Cobra 29" Does it walk the dog and kit that cat? Maybe you have a limited edition "Competition tuned FT920"
 
Did you buy this new from a Yaesu dealer? That is the worst looking hack job I have ever seen! Flying wires and it id resting on Cardboard! I would send pictures of that to Yaesu and ask what the hell has happened to your Quality Control standards???

Sorry, a little CB geek humor. I'm very curious if anyone else knows what that may be for. Could be a repair or a mod of some sort. How does the radio work? Have you tried it on AM/SSB, etc. ? I hope you didn't get burned, I remember your recent thread where some of us were persuading you to pick up an HF rig instead of an export. Sound like your buddy that sold it to you has some 'splaining to do?

this wasnt anybody i know the radio works fine i did see some you tube videos showing FACTORY fixes off the line that looked very similar not the same location but using the same "CARDBOARD" so Im not sure what is going on BUT the number on the chip says its for the CMOS

No private owner but I have seen work from Yaesu that looks like this before....

If you used PayPal I would start working on a complaint for refund. Unless the ad stated it was a tech special.

Im waiting to hear from previous owner to see what he has to say about it..... if i dont hear from him I'm filing a return due to undisclosed issues .. from there my Amateur radio days are going to be put on hold.....
