[Yaesu] Ft-1000D Questions

[AB3L1@aol.com]

This is my first 1000D

I would like to check out the serial number of a rig that I just took 
ownership of. Can someone enlighten me in the mastering of the S/N code? I did call 
Vertex but the fellow I talked to said they are no longer allowed to give out 
the info.
Is there any other locations in the radio that will show the S/N or is the 
rear label all we get?

The radio loaded into a dummy load showed about 190w or 195w. Is this in 
range of what can be expected? I would think that it would slightly exceed the 
rating. Then again maybe it's better to not push the finals, or my Bird slug is 
slightly out of calibration.

Thank you,

Bob  AB3L
