[TowerTalk] Opening Yaesu G-1000 Controller

[Ken Bauer]

I had to do the same thing on my Yaesu G-800DXA. See attached instructions (which are the same for the G-1000DXA).

The pictures are found at the link in the text, but also here directly:  https://www.hamsupply.com/yaesu-illuminator-installation/
