[Yaesu] Re: TXCO Unit for FT-990

[Tom.Goodfellow@cubic.com]

Bill,

The TEMPERATURE COMPENSATED CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR (TCXO) will help in the stability of the rig but 
my 990 is pretty darn stable as is.....but for $30 I'd do !! It just make's the rig that much 
better....and if you ever upgrade or just sell the 990 it's a great selling point ....every 
once-in-a-while a get an itch for the FT-1000D ....but the 990 is really a hard rig to beat...73

I did take my FT-990 AC into Yaesu Tuesday morning to resolve the NO
ALC/Low Power problems on 10M.

This morning the tech called said he was working on the rig and asked
if I wanted the optional TXCO-2 unit installed at a cost of 30 bucks
(no additional labor). I know this unit used to be over $100 plus
labor.

I told them to go ahead with it. Anyone here want to second guess
that?. Does this TXCO unit result is any significant or noticeable
improvements in performance?
