HI, I'll get back to you later, late for work.
Man, it took me 4 hours to repair mine. VERY tiny work.
TINY soldering iron needed, and a LARGE magnifying glass and a steady hand.
Also, you will need some wire wrap wire, very thin.
VERY BAD design on Yaesu's part. SHAME ON THEM!!!!!
I'm using mine as a base and not mobile. Not sure if I can trust it in a
bouncing car.
Works fine as a base.

Looking for a schematic and parts placement diagram for the control head.
The 440 volume & squelch pots have broken the traces on the main board
at the connector. Can anyone help?? Please respond direct.
Thanks,
