I spoke to Yaesu about four months ago about an issue with one of my
FT-1000D's. They told me at that time they still had some boards and parts
in stock but when then are gone, that's it. And also some units that they
can canabalize parts from. So if you have a problem, call Yaesu's number
and speak with Jerry, head of the repair department before you do anything
else. Van, K7VS
