[Yaesu] Re: FT-1000

[Robert L. Carroll]

I'm not rpelying to the specific e-mail but simply saying how 
impressed I am with seeing Yaseu respond to questions and 
issues via e-mail.  It's great for Yaseu owners and gives Yaseu a 
chance to respond to criticisms coming from the ham community.  
Please keep it up!  And whiel you are at it, could you tell me if the 
FT100 operates full QSK?

Dave, 
	Thanks for the email. The inside of the display glass can be cleaned in
about 2 hours. To access the glass, you'll need to take off the top and
bottom covers, drop the front panel down and remove the display unit. 
	To clean dust off the glass, you do not need to remove the display unit.
Compressed air may be used in the small gap between the display unit and
the glass to blow the dust away. 
	Please send me your mailing address and I'll mail you a copy of the
disassembly instructions and exploded view of the front panel if that would
assist you. 
	Best Regards, Mike Krueger - N6MIK, Yaesu Technical Support
