VX-127/VX-177 Alignment
Introduction and Precautions
The VX-127/VX-177 has been carefully aligned at the factory for the specified performance
across the 430 MHz amateur band. Realignment should therefore not be necessary except
in the event of a component failure. All component replacement and service should be
performed only by an authorized Yaesu representative, or the warranty policy may be
voided.
The following procedures cover the sometimes critical and tedious adjustments that are not
normally required once the transceiver has left the factory. However, if damage occurs and
some parts are replaced, realignment may be required. If a sudden problem occurs during
normal operation, it is likely due to component failure; realignment should not be done until
after the faulty component has been replaced.
We recommend that servicing be performed only by authorized Yaesu service technicians
who are experienced with the circuitry and fully equipped for repair and alignment. Therefore,
if a fault is suspected, contact the dealer from whom the transceiver was purchased for
instructions regarding repair. Authorized Yaesu service technicians realign all circuits and
make complete performance checks to ensure compliance with factory specifications after
replacing any faulty components.
Those who do undertake any of the following alignments are cautioned to proceed at their
own risk. Problems caused by unauthorized attempts at realignment are not covered by the
warranty policy. Also, Yaesu must reserve the right to change circuits and alignment
procedures in the interest of improved performance, without notifying owners.
Under no circumstances should any alignment be attempted unless the normal function and
operation of the transceiver are clearly understood, the cause of the malfunction has been
clearly pinpointed and any faulty components replaced, and the need for realignment
determined to be absolutely necessary.

Required Test Equipment
The following test equipment (and thorough familiarity with its correct use) is necessary for
complete realignment. Correction of problems caused by misalignment resulting from use of
improper test equipment is not covered under the warranty policy. While most steps do not
require all of the equipment listed, the interactions of some adjustments may require that
more complex adjustments be performed afterwards. Do not attempt to perform only a
single step unless it is clearly isolated electrically from all other steps. Have all test
equipment ready before beginning, and follow all of the steps in a section in the order
presented.
Regulated DC Power Supply: adjustable from 5 to 16 VDC, 3 A
RF Signal Generator with calibrated output level at 500 MHz
Frequency Counter: ±0.1 ppm accuracy at 500 MHz
AF Signal Generator
SINAD Meter
Oscilloscope
Spectrum Analyzer
Deviation Meter (linear detector)
AF Milivoltmetr
AF Dummy Load: 8 Ω, 1 W
DC Voltmeter: high impedance
Inline Wattmeter with 5% accuracy at 500 MHz
50-Ohm non-reactive Dummy Load: 10 watts at 500 MHz
VHF/UHF Sampling Coupler
Alignment Preparation & Precautions
A dummy load and inline wattmeter must be connected to the main antenna jack in all
procedures that call for transmission, except where specified otherwise. Correct alignment is
not possible with an antenna. After completing one step, read the following step to
determine whether the same test equipment will be required. If not, remove the test
equipment (except dummy load and wattmeter, if connected) before proceeding.
Correct alignment requires that the ambient temperature in the repair shop be the same as
that of the transceiver and test equipment, and that this temperature be held constant
between 20 °C and 30 °C (68 °C to 86 °F). When the transceiver is brought into the shop
from hot or cold air it should be allowed some time for thermal equalization with the
environment before alignment. If possible, alignments should be made with oscillator shields

and circuit boards firmly affixed in place. Also, the test equipment must be thoroughly
warmed up before beginning.
Notes: Signal levels in dB referred to in alignment are based on 0 dBµ = 0.5 µV.
All items tune and/or adjust by Auto-Tuning Mode or Manual Tuning Mode.
PLL Reference Frequency
