[1000mp] Click mod IF question

[W4ZW]

I asked this specific question of Chip at the Yaesu booth at the Orlando
Hamcation on Saturday.  He said all current production models have the key
click mod from the factory.  It would appear that they started these in late
2004 production runs.

BTW, the new meag$$$ FT-9000 is truly amazing!   I got the quick tour at
Hamcation.  Chip says it contains 80 new patents.  The computer features
alone are indicative of a serious built-in computer and software.  It has
SO2R built-in.  Yes, you can receive on another band WHILE you are
transmitting on the first band.  Better read up on antenna isolation!

Chip indicated the price will be $7,000 to $11,000 and production is ready
to start now.
