A South African operator is desperately in need of a component to repair his FT-736R.
The part is an IC No. HD63A01YO (Hitachi) The FT-736R manual reference is Yaesu Part Number G1090792, control unit F2891000A diagram item Q1008.
Does anyone in the satellite community know of a source for this component, possibly from an old 736R that has been cannibalized for spares? The FT-736R is a great old radio and should be kept in use as long as possible.
I wouldn't part with mine for anything! It's worked a lot of VHF DX both through the satellites abd off the moon.
