Hi Leighton, thanks for this, I'm meeting John tomorrow and 'round 2' will definitely look closely at these jumpers and the other suggestions. I've spoken to John and quizzed him as to whether he has made any changes at all, or whether he has lent the rig out and someone else may have made changes. He assures me neither is the case, further, the rig used to work fine on 2 mtrs.
So I'm inclined to the view that we are looking at some component failure. John tells me he may have operated the rig on 2 mtrs with his dual band antenna coax plugged into the 70cms antenna socket. Curses!
Anyway, tomorrow will be a day for STRONG coffee, bacon sarnies and lots of magnified circuit board scrutiny!
Again we appreciate all the helpful comments, FINGERS CROSSED!!!!!
Paul, G0ODP

Hi Paul, I have just uploaded a file from Yeasu regarding mods to the frequency coverage of the 847.
The alterations are done by removing or adding link resistors near to the backup battery.
