In a previous posting I remember a thread relative  to  repairmen.  Could 
not locate the thread in the  archives.  Also  recall Yaesu shop turn 
around 
was  long.....long.

I have a semi-intermittent receive problem where the  signal  will drop 2 
to 
3 S-units and return to normal later.  It  is getting more  frequent.

I would like a recommendation to a  service tech who may be able to  find 
and fix this high nuisance  fault.

This sounds very much like a  well-reported problem. I was one of those 
reporting it, after it appeared  during a DXpedition to 3B9 in 1999, of 
which I was a team member. In my  case, the dropout seemed deeper than 2 
or 3 S units.  I sent my MP to  Yaesu on warranty, with a written, 
detailed description how to induce the  condition. The technician said he 
could not do so, but replaced a bunch of  parts and the problem went away 
for several years before returning. The  source is almost certainly a DIP 
relay in the front end. In my case, a  brief excursion into transmit mode 
always restored RX signal. Yaesu, to my  knowledge, never acknowledged 
the problem, although it has been discussed  on this list numerous times.

I suggest you contact Byron, WA4GEG at his  qrz.com address. Byron is 
extremely competent and professional and I  recommend him highly. That 
problem was one of several that Byron addressed  for me; there are more 
than a half-dozen of the same relay in the front  end, and he replaced 
all of them.

Rod et. al.,

I agree  with Garry, NI6T.  Go to Byron Campbell, WA4GAG.  He did a nice 
job  
on my FT-1000D.  His backlog is usually about one month.  I  shipped mine 
to 
him the last week of April and got it back in early  June.
