Hello Sir.
We did the update of 6 (!) FT1000D by sending one to YAESU Europe and then
we took the Eeprom out of the modified one and copied the new firmware with
an Eeprom reader to a PC.
The other FT1000D got their software by cloning the new firmware with an
Eeprom writer.
This saved us a total of at least 300 ? because the software update costs
aprox. 60 ? here.
So please check for a FT1000D user with the latest firmware and clone the
software to your old Eeproms.
A cold start/reset after reinstalling the new chip brings the TRX back
working with firmware 6.0 !
