                    General Coverage Mod for YAESU FT-747GX
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        1)  Remove top cover.

        2)  On backside of display unit, there is a brown jumper
            wire near the large ribbon cable.

        3)  Cut the brown jumper wire.

        4)  Turn the radio on and set the frequency to 12,345.6 KHz,
            then turn the radio off, then on again.

        5)  This enables the general coverage mode and a GEN display
            will come on and stay on at the top of the LCD display.

        6)  Reassemble the unit. It will now transmit everywhere it
            receives, however, Yaesu recommmends that it only transmit
            between 1.8 - 30 MHz.


        Disclaimer: I'm passing this on from someone who owns one of these and
        has done the mod. I have not done or tested this mod. You do it
        at your own risk.
