[Yaesu] Yaesu FT767 questions/opinions

[Leslie Elliott]

John, have you read the reviews on Eham?  I know that they are not always valid reviews, since people tend to want to think what they have is better than what others have.  (Human Nature)  But if you read all the reviews, some of which are not particularly positive, then you should get a feel for the general 
qualities of the rig.  Here is a link to the Eham review:

Good luck, and have fun with your new rig.

I have a chance to pick up a Yaesu FT767 which has been recently aligned and
checked out, so it should be good to go.  From those who have used them, I have
a couple of questions:

1. How is the receiver overall?  I realize it probably has some phase noise
being an older synthesized rig, but does it have pretty good strong signal
handling capabilities-like contests and such?

2. What is the NB like in it?  Does it take out line noise and things like
that?

3. How does the autotuner do?  Is it like many of the 80s and early 90s
autotuners that will load up about anything, or more like the late 90s to
present autotuners that are pretty crappy and won't load up much of
anything?

4. Anything else I should know, good or bad, about the 767? It doesn't have
any modules with it and I probably won't get any either.
