[1000mp] FT-1000MP panel switches not responding.

[John]

Thanks again everyone for all your help and suggestions. I have sent 
Yaesu UK an e-mail, requesting the price and availability of a 
replacement board. If a board is not available for any reason, I will 
attempt to bridge the the cracked part myself, but would obviously 
favour a replacement board due to the nature of the problem.

Regards,
John.
