Now for the obvious question again. Has anyone actually replaced the final board? What was your experience? Did the board part number you ordered end in a 5? I forget the other numbers. There were at least 3 different board numbers, one ended in 3, then 4, finally 5. I’d get a spare, if I thought I could replace it myself. Mine is a non ND. Thanks

Hi Mike,

My 3 finals boards arrived today. I compared them to the repair videos and they are exact replicas.

Yeasu surprised me because they charged my card but warning of shipment.

I really feel better now knowing I can bring her out more often and let the POTAs rip.

Hi Ken.? Not sure if you were asking me this question, but I ordered the final boards by phone from Yaesu in the US.? I called the Contact Us/Parts number on their website.
I don't remember if I specified the FT-817, 818, or both.? From what I have read on this group, one board fits all, so I don't think it matters.? It says FT-817 Final Unit on the invoice.? I verified the part number they have is the same
as what I read somewhere on this group.? I have a tracking number that indicates the shipment is in transit.
The cost was $26.17 US per board, plus shipping.
