Thanks Roger and Wald.? My original FT-980 was purchased in 1983.? I bought a used 980 from K4DPK who modified it for GEN TX which I used the memories for those 60 meter channels.? My next two were given me by the family of a silent key.? THe one with a relay added is with Wald N4PL.
Back in the early 1990's there was a group of 980 users and I copied the pages of the FOX Tango newsletter with? 980 improvements.? I made 15 copies and last year I only had 2 copies left.? Chip K7JA and I talked at Dayton 1n 1994 and he told me the 980 had the best receiver they ever made (he was VP of Yaesu USA.? Good to see the ole gal now has a reflector.? They made about 600 of the FT-980.?
