ft-726 options help, radio soon FS
I have a yaesu ft-726 that I'm presently trying to determine what options it has installed. I know it has the 2M/430/21-28mhz modules and ctcss tone board installed but how do I tell if it has the sat module or what other options it may have?
Help in determining this is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric AF6EP
Probably the easiest way to check is to open it up and look. The modules in mine were all stamped into the sheet metal what they were. Or see if you can TX on one band while receiving on another.

that's pretty much the only other option, is the sat board... if your radio can receive while transmitting (full-duplex) then the sat board is there. set both VFO's to different bands/same mode, put the VFO knob to either the ra-tb or rb-ta settings and the satellite knob to something other than "off" and hit TX to see what happens. best of luck with the sale, it won't be hard, that's still a very useful rig! BTW, I didn't know there was a 21-28 module available for it untill now!Very cool...
