[1000mp] Inrad Bonus Mod

Sun, 8 Feb 2004 12:27:49 -0600

Hope this is not off topic:

Own both a FT-1000D and FT-1000MP MK V (not field).
Have installed the Inrad Keyclick and IF Mods in the MK V.

However, want to install the Keyclick and NB mods in the FT-1000D and
W8JI says on his Website that these mods are available from him.

Can anyone tell me how to contact W8JI; have sent an email to his
QRZ.com email address but have not received an answer.

Thank You very much.
73, Larry AJ2W
