Spam-free tech/user support group

This group is for Yaesu Musen's FT-227R/RA/RB enthusiasts.

We also cover and encourage discussion of the FT-107R (220 MHz version) and FT-627R (6 meter version) equivalents of the famous workhorse.

The Yaesu-Musen FT-227 is a PLL controlled tranceiver for the 2 meter ham band. This was the first 2 meter rig to have a digital display and even a memory. Dual RF power: ±1 10 watts. Capable of +/- 600 KHz and unconventional offsets.

Unfortunately, the production was discontinued in 1981. Over it's active life, the transceiver was sold with several different model suffixes. Later models had up/down buttons on the mike and the VFO could scan for busy or clear frequencies - it was pretty futuristic in the 80's!!!

This group was created for those who want to make the most out of their rig and who may wish to share common projects (alignment, adds-on, modifications, interfaces, care, etc).


For your convenience, this group is SPAM FREE.
This means that you will not be annoyed with tens or hundreds of unrelated messages every day !!!
