[Yaesu] FT1000

I guess on a similar note,

Does anyone have a file of related mods to the FT-1000D?  Perhaps they could
be compiled and available to others on this list.  If this list does not
have a files section, I have a list [email protected] that has a
files section, and the files could be available to all interested parties.

The rig has been around for a long time, and I'm sure that many mods have
been developed for it.

My complaint about the unit is the relay clicking when your are running QSK
with an amplifier.  I wonder if any mod was developed for that problem.

Thanks!
