Re: [amsat-bb] LOT 5 Fixes Yeasu FT-847 problems?

["John M.Fisher" <fisherjo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

       The gentleman is correct. I was informed to return my FT-847 to
YAESU in Cerritos Ca. I did. Sent to them UPS Brown, In three weeks I had
it back all corrected anf now the Polling operation works well. They did a
good job, NO cost to me.    Just getting back in Satellite operation after
10 years hiatus, just hope I can get acclimated to new operaton. Last time
I was on was when I was working Oscar 5, 6 and Oscar 13,  Good Luck  John
