All i can tell you for certain is the first number is yr of model. But this does not hold true for newer Yaesu's.

I searched the net and found...

Position 1 = Last Number of Year Made (unfortunately, it appears Yaesu didn't think about duplicate years like 1995 and 2005)

Position 2 = Month Made

• C=January
  D=February
  E=March
  F=April
  G=May
  H=June
  I=July
  J=August
  K=September
  L=October
  M=November
  N=December

Position 3 and 4 = Production Run

Position 5, 6, 7 and 8 = Unit Number

So, if your S/N is: 5J020176

5 = 2005 (or 1995 - based on date of production)
J = August
02 = Production Run 2
0176 = Individual Unit Number
