Yaesu FT-990 ham transceiver has display and panel lights flashing=no RX or TX. Had same problem 2 years ago and was fixed by PLL board alignment . Repairer no longer does FT=990. Anyone know of reputable servicer for the FT-990 , especially someone who can repair just the plug in card and not have to send entire transceiver? It required longer and longer warm up before lock on but now it just flashes. I put my card in a friends same model and no help. Put his local/Pll card in my rig and all is perfect again. Any source for usable local /PLL card?
-   I have FT-990. I press mode CW and led lightins.I hear the in loadspeaker a continous a tone of 1000 hz.
I press on key and not transmission.I have schematic. yo6bbq@yahoo.com IULIAN-   yo6bbq

WA4geg no longer works on FT-990 rigs. I used him in the past and he IS tops. Thanks for post-Yeasu is sending new card-the local/PLL card should cure it . Carol. W4CLM . is not doing ham repairs till she finishes her shipboard radio duty. . Thanks again--
