Mike,
As previously I certainly have the 3 colour back light & the 60 metre band. I'll have a look later i the week to see if the solder blob points are there & what PA is fitted.
Funnily enough much like your contact I regretted selling my original 817 hence picking up the ND version quickly afterwards.
I found it odd at the time that I managed a 'software mod' when my colleagues ND had to be de-blobbed or blobbed (can't remember which) ;-)
