A update on the status of the FT-817 Final unit
?
First off a bit of Yaesu clarification?
?
The board that holds the output transistors is called the Final Unit and is number FR006000. Which mounts on top of the PA board, FR005190
?
According to Yaesu part lady, NO Final units are in stock. NONE are planned to be ordered.
?
According to the Yaesu service guy, Yaesu WILL NOT service the original FT-817. They will service the FT-871-ND and the FT-818.
?
Ah! You say! Don't they use the same final board? I asked that, too.?
