I recently sent my FT1000D to Yaesu for repairs. After nearly 3 months
in California they informed me yesterday that the processor is bad. The
worse news is that the processor is obsolete and no spares are available.
I don't want to give up on this radio. Are there other sources of spare
parts beside Yaesu? Does anyone have a spare board with a good
processor? Any suggestions on who may be able to repair the radio?
I guess this is a downside to the modern computer based radios. There
are alternatives if you can't get an original part for an old boat
anchor, but if you lose a processor that is not available what can you do?
Thanks in advance,
Paul W5PF
