Rob...Many thanks for the response to my query on the 901 Yaesu repair.
The rig belongs to a friend of mine in Ottawa, Ken, VE3CV. He tripped to 
Toronto in hopes an old friend of his, a repair tech with a store, would have 
the smarts to do a "professional" job on the rig. I don't think Ken lifted 
the hood on it. The store manager didn't offer encouragement...suggested he 
take up a Yaesu offer of $200. trade on a newer rig. No chance of that. Seems 
like present day techs are transistor and boards replacement types..no time 
or knowledge to prod around in an older rig.
I'll pass along ur info to Ken.  Expect I'll be called on to pick up the rig 
in Toronto and will be in Ottawa abt 2nd week of December so can deliver to 
him. If nothing else works out, maybe I'll look inside it myself.
Agn, thanks. Vy 73 de Jim VE3PLP.
