For those of you that need the TCXO upgrade for the FT-1000 to match the D
model, read on.
I have discovered that the TCXO-2 made for the FT-990 is a solder in
replacement for the standard TCXO supplied with the FT-1000 (non-D model). This
might not be very interesting at the normal price for the FT-990 TCXO-2 but
AES has them on closeout for $69.00. The second side benefit is that the
standard TCXO that you remove from the existing board is identical to the
TCXO-3 used in the FT890 and FT900.
I replaced my FT-1000 TCXO with the $69.00 TCXO-3 and then dropped the removed
one in my FT-890.
Thought i would share the info for those who might want to upgrade their
FT-1000 to the higher stability xtal for $69.00 instead of near $180 for the
whole board.
