FT727R

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
     bands.  The display will now cover 100-199,  400-499MHz, but
     it  obviously won't work over this range.  Mine covers  139-
     153,  420-460.

     - The reset code is in your manual

[ From another source:
The factory code to make
the program from the factory is ( 443300 ) and if you enter those
digits the talkie will return to normal again. However if you enter the
code ( 601111 ) you will notice the talkie will come up in a different
mode you can and must input 5 digits instead of 4 to input a freq.

Example in the normal mode to get freq 147.06 you would enter 7060 then
        hit the dial button.

        In the expanded mode you would enter 47060 to get the 147.06 cause
        your display now takes and controls the last 5 digits of a freq
        instead of the normal 4.
