For all of the do-it-yourself types, here is the alignment procedure for the Yaesu VX-8GR. It's interesting that you can do the whole thing through the menu system once the proper test equipment is hooked up.

I had this file, but when I tried it I could not get into the alignment menu.

Someone sent me another version of these instructions, which included some extra steps. You have to enter a password into the CW ID menu field before you can get into the alignment menu. Unfortunately I lost these instructions.

Does anyone have a copy containing the procedure to get into the alignment menu that works?
 
Julian,

I've been trying to figure out the same thing myself. I got these instructions but never have been able to figure out how to actually get into the alignment menu. If you figure it out, be sure to let us know.
 
Have you tried "AH041M" as the password?

Edited to add: Sorry... I see now where Julian had previously tried that. Disregard!

I hope it’s helps a lot

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned
