Thanks Morel for the offer. Work fax is 1-412-766-1812. This is a dual
voice fax business line that a real person answers, stay on the line and
the person will start the fax...not real high tech yet.

Do not have a schematic as yet, but, am calling Yaesu today to get the
official position...hopefully I can get a schematic of the DVS-2.

Universally on the D, MP, 990, etc ALL have this same problem. Yaesu did
it again!

Will post any updates on the reflector
