Hi All

The MEM/VFO CH Switch on my FT-1000MP (front panel top right) has gone
seriously faulty. It does not "click" its way round any more, it just
rotates smoothly and nothing happens when I do that, so obviously I have
to replace it. The breakdown of the switch means that, apart from the
MEM/VFO function, I also cannot access the MENU settings which is much
more of a problem. 

I had a look inside the rig and the switch is mounted on a small PCB
along with the Notch/NB Control. I wonder if someone on the list can
help me out by giving me the details of a Yaesu parts source where I
could buy a new switch by mail order. If necessary I am prepared to
replace the small PCB it's mounted on if that is available.

Thanks & 73 - John - 9M6XRO
