The next photograph shows the same area except with capacitors (yellow ellipses) in place of the
resistors. This is what the original FT-817’s look like. Resistors are black and capacitors are
tan.
If you have the resistors, you must replace them with 0.01
F SMT capacitors in order for the
OBF to work correctly.
NOTICE
Removal and installation of the above SMT components requires appropriate skill and
equipment. Damage can occur to your Main PCB and is not warranted by Yaesu or W4RT
Electronics. If you feel uncomfortable performing the installation of the OBF and/or the
about SMT component interchange, then either have a qualified person perform the
installation or have W4RT Electronics perform the installation (for an additional fee).
