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.
