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 = 200
5 (or 199
5 - based on date of production)
J = August
02 = Production Run 2
0176 = Individual Unit Number
