Carlos,

Attached is the latest FT-301D Replacement Display firmware (version A04).
This new version supports user setting of display brightness and display resolution.

To enter setup mode, you power on the radio with the band switch set in the JJY/WWV position.
After the welcoming displays, it will show "SEtUP" in the display for 2 seconds and
then 1 second each of the message "TOGGLE" "BAND" "TO" and "SELECT" for 3 seconds.
During the time that "SELECT" is shown, toggle the band switch off of the JJY/WWV
position and then back to the JJY/WWV position to enter the program
settings mode.  It will then start the brightness setting routine.  To set the
brightness level you desire, wait until the display is at the brightness level you
want (it slowly brightens and the decimal points count up in a binary fashion), then
toggle the band switch off of the JJY/WWV position and then back to the JJY/WWV position.
That will write into the PICs EEPROM the brightness level you desire.  A "SAVED"
message will be displayed while the band switch is off of the JJY/WWV position.

After the brightness setting, the setup process will continue on to the 10Hz, 100Hz,
and a "floating point mode" selection.  Again, to set what type of display resolution
you want, toggle the band switch off of and back onto the JJY/WWV position when your
desired resolution mode is displayed. A "SAVED" message will be displayed.  

If one powers up the radio with the band switch set in the JJY/WWV position and
they didn't really want to enter the programming mode, just leave the band
switch in the JJY/WWV position until it completes the showing of the messages and it
will automatically return to displaying the frequency.

10Hz mode shows 10Hz resolution for all bands.  It does this by eliminating the MHz
digit(s) and instead shows a "-" in that most significant position.

100Hz mode shows 100Hz resolution for all bands and looks similar to the way the
original Yaesu display looked.

FLOAT mode shows 10Hz resolution for 160, 80, and 40 meter band and shows 100Hz
resolution for 20, 15, and 10 meter band.

So, I think it is in pretty good shape now as far as flexibility is concerned! ;-)
Let me know if you get a chance to try it out and if it works okay for you.  Also, be
sure to let me know if you find any bugs in it!

If you have any contact with the other folks that have built the display, please let
them know about this new firmware version.  I think/hope they will find it useful.

Thanks! and 73!,

Paul
