[1000MP] Transverter Switching

Tue, 3 Jun 2003 17:47:27 -0500

Hi again Mike.

Today I called Amateur Electronic Supply in Milwaukee and asked for the
FRB-5.  The salesman said he never heard of it, then he looked it up and
said "oh my God, I've got one in stock.  Can't believe it!  What the heck is
it?"

I explained it to him while he entered my order.  I should have it Friday.

Thanks again.

Terry, W�FM

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
