[Yaesu] Pin Diode mod for FT1000D

[Robert Emerson]

Hi Robin! Seems to me we have both been looking for the same thing for quite
some time on this reflector. Another area you might want to research was
posted on the TopBand reflector by W8JI. He found that adding three diodes
to the noise blanker circuit effectivley removed it when the the NB and NB-W
switches were in the off position therby reducing quite a bit of IMD. Email
me and I'll post the message here or to you directly.
