Hi all,
Got the main tuning encoder for the 990 a while back,
but just now getting around to getting the updated
part number of the unit in a msg. (incase anyone is
interested. If not, thanks for tolerating my ramblings.)
The part number is: Q9000523.
Put the unit in and it works like a charm.
I also installed the solder jumper to slow down the
CW tuning by half. I like it a lot better for tuning manually.
My contesting s/w (NA) still tunes the radio at the same
rate electronically though.
I may do the same for SSB since I do a lot of
listening to SITOR & FAX in LSB/USB.
AM & FM?.....Nah, I won't bother.
My compliments to Sal at Yaesu. He called me back
within an hour with part and shipping info.
Thats it from Skunk Hollow.
