[Yaesu] FT-890 Question

[Bruce Sugarberg]

Hi Clark,

I did do a Google search on "FT-890 mods", and visited several dozen sites.
So far, all of the mods sites I have checked, including mods.dk, list only
the "mars mod" or all-band transmit mod.

The only thing I have not tried is the Yahoo FT-890 group - I'll do that next.
