[1000MP] Transverter Switching

Tue, 3 Jun 2003 08:23:23 +0000

Terry,
The FRB-5 is an accessory that you should be able to obtain from any Yaesu 
dealer, here is the UK it is about �13.95, so I guess that equates to roughly 
$21.00. However a quick search on Google shows that the list price is $50.00,
see     http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/hamhf/12192633.html
No doubt it is available elsewhere.

Regards
Mike M5ACS
