[Yaesu] Fixing Auto-tuner in Yaesu FT-920?

[David G. Maley]

The last I knew, Yaesu would not service a tuner module.  You just
replace it with a new one.  If this policy has changed let us know.
Suggest, before you try anything else, you take the recommendation
from the last message.  Do a 'hard' reset on the entire radio.  This
should involve disconnecting/removing the backup battery.  If it still
won't respond, reseat all cabeling going to the tuner.  If it still
won't respond, now call Yeasu.
BTW...My tuner, in a FT-900, would go dead if I had a situation where
RF got into the tuner's controller.  A soft reset would wake it
back up for me.  Good Luck. Let us know how you come out.
Dave.
