   You need no have version 6 of the software in the FT1000D to have it
running.
How to check: Press key 1 and key 3 of the keypad and switch on the
radio.
After the display test you will see the text YAESU version number.

If you have version 5.84 you will have to contact yaesu for a new prom.

I hope yeasu in North America is faster then in The Netherlands, because
I ordered
one two months ago,  and they have to order it in Japan.
The price here should be around $75, they werent sure when I ordered it.

73, Henk pa3eob
