Can anyone tell me a definite month in 2004 that Yaesu began installing the
key click modification at the factory?  I have just bought a Field with
serial number beginning with 4G210 (May 2004) and I don't see any signs of
the mod on the IF board.  The RF board has a dead bug 1 uF cap soldered on
the backside, but nowhere in the vicinity of C1004 (the component called out
in the INRAD key click modification).  I have been told that May 2004 was
the magic month, but I don't know exactly what to look for.  Was the Yaesu
change accomplished by changing the PC board layout, or by dead bugging
parts on the backside of the radio?

Thanks for any help you can give.

73,
Mike, K4GU
