Position 1: last digit of the year in which the radio was producedPosition 2: Determine the position of the letter in the alphabet (C=3,D=4,E=5, etc)then subtract 2.The result gives the month in which the radio was manufactured.Note that the letters will range from C (January) through N (December).Thus, my FT-817 radio with a serial number of 9J271567 would have been manufactured in 2009 (9), during the month of August (J, August is the 8th month), was part of lot 27, and was the 1567th radio in that lot.
Yaesu Ftdx5000 Serial Number Decoding
I bought my FRG-7 back in the 1970s. I remember it was like $300 or so which was the price almost of a car. It was based on the brilliant Barlow Wadley loop design. However, who knows what the serial number code was but its a great radio and I really liked the ability to put batteries in it and use it in a tent in the field.
How do you tell the date of a FT857D, they came out in 2004 but now in 2017/18/19 you can still but one. So my serial number is 4 I that is a letter i 700342 that make my radio 2004,July but I bought it new in January 2015, so that makes no sense. 2ff7e9595c
