[Yaesu] Re: FT 767GX

BRAVO YAESU on this rig, for sure!

I have had my FT767 for about 8 years.  It has been a fabulous rig.  I have all 
four modules, 6m, 2m, 430, and 440.  I have the 430 installed and use the rig 
as a receiver for both 144 and 432 EME.

As a CW rig it is terrific.  The APF (audio peaking filter) allows me to 
extract weak signals out of the noise just as good as the Timewave 599zx DSP, 
probably better, definitely easier.

On HF the automatic tuner works great to optimize the match.  I use it with a 
CAT program for additional memories and easier selection of VHF and UHF 
frequencies.

I use it on all bands, all modes.  Even though this rig is obsolete, I plan on 
using it for many years to come.
