[Yaesu] FT-736R Module

[Scott Manthe]

I don't think you'll be able to find any 220 all-mode for double the price 
Yaesu quoted you to fix the 220 module for your 736. A nice one would 
certainly be even more.

Instead of sending the rig to Yaesu to fix, why not try sending it to some 
other competent, non-factory service center. I have a fellow in mind who 
does very good work, for less than half the hourly rate that Yaesu charges. 
I'd be happy to send you his phone number, if you're interested.

73,
Scott, N9AA
