Thank you for asking.<\/p>\n

Background: I think I found a way to fix a broken display on my Yeasu FT-290R<\/a> 2m all-mode radio. A broken display on these things is common, and displays are very much NLA<\/a>. The FT-290 (2m), FT-690 (6m) and FT-790 (70cm) are all pretty much identical except for the RF bits, so a fix for one is a fix for all.<\/p>\n

So I advertised on swop shop<\/a>, looking for an “FT-290R \/ FT-690R \/ FT-790R”.<\/p>\n
