The model number may help you narrow it down better, certain models were offered in certain years...

Hi Kev,
Mike, N1EVH posted this information to the list:
-----
Yaesu's serial number scheme is as follows...
1st digit is the year it was made.
2nd digit is the month it was made
3rd and 4th digits are the lot number
5th thru 8th digits is the unit number in that lot.
Now with the month... they start with the letter "C". So the months would be...
C - January? ? ? ?I - July
D - February? ? ?J - August
E - March? ? ? ? ?K - September
F - April? ? ? ? ? ? L - October
G - May? ? ? ? ? ?M - November
H - June? ? ? ? ? ?N - December
------
I hope that helps.
