- Subject: YAESU FT767GX mod

- I have recently purchased the aforementioned transceiver. I have had no
- problems to speak of and enjoy the rig thoroughly. I would like to
- submit the following mod for the rig. Note that implementation on this
- mod is at the rig owner's risk and may violate warranties. Here is a
- description of the mod:
-
- o Remove the bottom cover (8 screws: 4 underneath, 2 on each side)
- o Remove the plastic rear panel. (Just a cosmetic piece)
- o Remove the rear metal panel. (So many screws)
- o Loosen the "hinge" screws on the front bottom. There are 4 of them.
- o Lift the now loose card tray to expose to inner circuit boards. Be
- careful! There are two power supply lines that need to be disconnected.
- (Remember to reconnect them on assembly.) (one is the control board,
- the other the one we want.) Note that the board we will mod is the same
- one that has the switch that allows changing the tuning dial from
- 5kHz/rev to 10kHz/rev.
- o Change the position of switch S01. The rig will now transmit from 1.5
- to 29.99999 MHz.
- o Reverse the disassembly procedure.
-
- Well that's it. You are now ready for any band addition that may come
- our way. If you have problems, reply; I'll try to answer your
- questions.

- This modification is intended for use with the Yaesu FT767GX when equipped
- with the optional 2 Meter module.
-
- It appears that Yaesu has the 2 Meter module default to Japanese 2M freqs
- (144.000-145.9999MHz). After using the backup switch to reset memories on
- the 767, the 2M module will also reset to default.
-
- To restore full US 2M band coverage (144.0000-147.9999MHz), follow this
- procedure:
-
- 1) place "backup" switch on rear panel to OFF position
- 2) power OFF radio
- 3) hold down "2" key and power ON radio
- 4) return backup switch to ON position
-
- Although I can't imagine that you could possibly break your radio with this
- mod, standard disclaimers for radio modifications apply.
