Hello,
I have the FT990 and really like the rig. I am considering sending it to =
Yaesu for general alignment, replacement of S meter bulb, and possible =
pin diode upgrade. I understand the diode replacement makes a big =
difference on RX. And yes I have to contend wth the "hiss" on RX here as =
well! What improvement will I notice if I replace the pin diodes? Also I =
understand there is a ROM/RAM upgrade. Any help, suggestions, ideas will =
be appreciated.
