- FT70G
-
- The Yaesu FT-70G is a very rugged HF-SSB QRP tranceiver with a self-
- contained Ni-Cd battery. This modification restores operation on 160
- meters and improves receiver sensitivity between 50 KHz and 2MHz.
- (It enables transmit operation between 1 and 2 MHz, but 2nd harmonic
- attenuation will be very poor if used below 1.5 MHz.) The boards
- are stenciled for the added parts, but this is no "clip the diode"
- modification:
-
- Low Pass Filter (LPF) Unit:
-
- Add RL601 SPDT relay, 12Vdc (Yaesu p/n M1190066) I substituted a
- Radio Shack 275-241 with little trouble. See note.

- Note: The R/S relay has 2 pins connected to the wiper arm. Connect
- only one to the non-grounded circuit board trace. The 2nd pin
- on the Yaesu relay is a dummy pin and is soldered to the
- board's ground plane for mechanical stability only.
