- In a recent message I saw someone inquiring about FT727 mods. Here is
- a file that I recieved one day.....
-
-
- From: <REID@IUBACS.BITNET>
- To: MBRAMWEL@BUSINESS.UWO.CDN
-
- YAESU FT-727R
-
- Modification for extended coverage. (This will work for both the old
- and new CPU versions)
-
- -Remove the battery pack
- -locate the RAM backup switch according to your manual ( this
- will be the switch FARTHEST away from the battery terminals)
- -Turn the switch off, count to 4, then turn it back on
- -Relace the battery pack
- -Turn the rig on. The readout should be entirely blank. If it
- is not, you probably did not wait long enough before turning
- the switch back ON, so repeat the above procedure.
- -Type in the following: " 001111 "
- -The rig should now come to life. You will have to reprogram
- all the memories as well as the repeater splits for both
- bands. The display will now cover 100-199, 400-499MHz, but
- it obviously won't work over this range. Mine covers 139-
- 160, 420-460. The reset code will be " 007777" ( I haven't
- tried it)
-
- Good Luck. Tim Pacan VE3OOZ
