FT-767GX For Service Manuals Contact MAURTAON TECHNICAL SERVICES ‘BCherry Tree Ra Chinnor ‘Cron OX9 40 “Toto 3594 Fa: 01044-92554 Ena nuneserautionok FT-767GX This manual is intended to serve as a technical supplement to the FT-767GX Operating Manual. Detailed information regarding functions, installation, interconnections and operation is provided in the Operating Manual, and is not reprinted herein. Therefore this Technical Supplement is not intended to serve as an independent reference, but to be used in conjunction with the informa- tion provided in the Operating Manual. Because there are over 280 circuit stages in the fully-equipped FT-767GX, circuit description is provided by numerous block diagrams supplementing the schematic diagrams. We trust that this manner of providing functional infor mation will prove more helpful than would a lengthy verbal description. Readers who are unfamiliar with the basic types of analog and digital circuits that serve as the building blocks of the FT-767GX may benefit from studying basic instructional texts published elsewhere, such as in handbooks on amateur radio and digital circuit design, before attempting to understand the design of the FT-767GX. Each block in the block diagrams represents one such basic circuit, with specific circuit details provided in the schematic diagrams. While we believe this technical information is correct and factual, some errors are bound to be present, and those known at the time of printing have been noted at relevant points in the Alignment Instructions. Yaesu assumes no liability, however, for damage that may result from typographical or other errors that may be present. Readers’ cooperation in bringing to our attention any inconsistencies in the technical information is appreciated. Yaesu Musen strives to keep all officially appointed distributors of the FT- 767GX advised of all significant design changes that may be developed, in the interest of technological improvement, during the course of production. Said distributors may elect to incorporate such changes at their discretion. How- ever, neither Yaesu Musen nor its distributors can accept any obligation to advise owners or modify previously produced sets based on such design changes, beyond that which may be required by law. SERVICE AND ALIGNMENT The FT-767GX is carefully designed to allow the knowledgeable operator to make all adjust- ments required for various installations, modes and operating preferences simply from the controls on the front and rear panels, without opening the case of the transceiver. These adjustments are described in the FT- 767GX Operating Manual. The following procedures cover the sometimes critical and tedious adjustments that are not normally required once the transceiver has left the factory, We recommend that these ad- justments be made only by authorized Yaesu service representatives, as many are inter- dependent and difficult to perform correctly without extensive prior experience with this type of procedure, Without such experience and the proper test equipment, any attempt to make Internal adjustments may cause degraded trans- ceiver performance, the correction of which is not covered by the warranty policy when caused by unauthorized internal adjustments. In the unlikely attempt that a sudden failure occurs during normal operation, do not attempt realignment. Such failures are almost always due co the failure of a component, sometimes in and external accessory, or a problem with the antenna system. After all external connec- tions have been checked, if the transceiver is still suspect, the dealer from whom the set was originally purchased should be contacted immediately for instructions regarding repair. Authorized Yaesu service technicians automat- ically perform complete performance checks and realignment of all circuits that may be affec. ted once a faulty component has been replace: Those who do undertake any of the following alignment procedures are cautioned to proceed only at their own risk. Yaesu must reserve the right to change circuits and alignment proce~ dures in the interest of improved performance, without notifying owners. Under no circumstan- ces should any realignment be attempted unless the normal function and operation of the transceiver are clearly understood, the mal- function has been carefully analyzed and any faulty components replaced, and the need for a specific realignment determined to be adso- lutely necessary. Procedures not involving adjustments are called ‘Checks’, and are pro- vided to aid troubleshooting. The following test equipment (and thorough familiarity with its use) Is required for complete alignment. While most steps do not require all of the equipment listed, the in- teractions of such adjustments may require that more complex adjustments be performed afterwards. Do not attempt to perform only a single step unless it is clearly isolated electrically from all other steps, Rather, have all test equipment ready before begin- ring, and follow all of the steps in the order that they are listed in each section. During all of the following procedures that call for che transmitter to be activated [MOX button pressed), a 50-ohm dummy load and in- line wattmeter must be connected to the rele- vant antenna jack, except where specifically stated otherwise. After the adjustment in any of these steps, return the MOX button to its OFF (out) position before proceeding to the next step. In no case should the MOX button be left depressed for more than the minimum amount of time necessary, which should be less than 30 seconds. ‘Also, the SHIFT control must be set to the 12 o'clock position, the RF gain control must be fully clockwise, and the SQL control must be fully counterclockwise during all steps, un- less indicated otherwise. After completing each step, read the following step to determine whether the same test equip- ment will be required. If not, remove the test equipment (except the dummy load and watt- meter) before proceeding.
