[Yaesu] FT990 tuner problem

[Sean Sharkey]

Edwin,


You may want to check the relays either side of the tuner unit. I had one of mine
fail, it was stuck in the open position and so wasn't routing RF through the tuner.

Straight forward replacement solved the problem.

Might be worth checking.

Hope this helps.


Sean.
