FT -767GX 

ALL-MODE,  ALL-BAND  TRANSCEIVER 

� 

•:A .•. 

SYSTEM 

The  F T- 767GX  is  a  solid-state,  all  mode  synthesized  amateur  transceiver  incorpora­

ting  automatic  antenna  tuner,  p ower  sup ply  and  provisions  for  up  to  three  o ptional 
internal  VHF  and  UHF  band  modules. 

The  standard  model  provides  100  watts  RF  power 

output  on  all  hf  amateur  bands  in  SSB,  CW,  FM  and  FSK  modes  (and  25  watts  AM  carrier 

power). 

Optional  band  modules  provide  10  watts  output  on  the  6m,  2 m   and  70cm  bands. 

The  die-cast  top  half  of  the  cha ssis  incorp orates  the  Duct  Flow  Cooling  syste m 
originated  for  amateur  radio  b y   Yaesu,  where  air  is  circulated  over  the  circuit 
board s  and  through out  the  chassis  by  a  quiet  internal  cooling  fan  when  operating 

tem perature  rises. 

Four  internal  microprocessors  with  a  custom  gate  array  provide  the  highest  level  of 
digital  i ntegration  and  control  ever  ·offered  to  radio  a mateurs:  including  features 

previously  unknown  in  a  transceiver,  such  as  freely  user-progra m mable  independent 

tuning  steps  for  each  mode,  an  auto-calculating  digital  SWR  meter,  digital  RF  watt­

meter,  synchronous  tracking  VF Os  and  autospeed  AGC  (when  tuning  or  scanning) . 
Popular  operating  conveniences  such  as  dual  (A-B)  independent  VF Os,  ten  memories 
storing  both  frequency  and  mode,  all  mode  squelch  and  range/step  programmable  scan­
ner, 

continuously  variable  noise  blanker  threshold, 

I F   shift  and  IF  notch  are 

included  with  recent  improvements  in  response  to  operators'  requests. 

For  CW  operators,  the  FT-767GX  operates  QSK  and  includes  (as  standard)  an  iambic 

key er  w ith  linear  speed  control,  selectable  sidetone  and  carrier  offset  ( 600/700/800 
Hz),  3-speed  AGC  (plus  OFF),  and  tunable  audio  peak  filter,  all  adjustable  from  the 
front  panel. 

A  narrow  ( 600  Hz)  CW  cry stal  filter  is  also  included  as  standard. 

For  especially  convenient  VHF  and  UHF  operation  with  the  optional  band  modules,  an 
FM  discriminator  center  tuning  meter  is  provided,  and  to  facilitate  repeater  opera­

tion, 

a  split-frequency  and  clarifier  offset  display  function  plus  the 

mode­

dependent  programmable  tuning  steps  and  tracking  VFOs  are  particularly  useful. 

An 

optional  subaudible  Tone  Squelch  Unit  can  be  program med  from  the  front  panel,  and  a 

Burst  Tone  Generator  is  installed  as  standard  in  European  versions.
