Default Dead Battery

Sat. 7 Nov 2009 7:55 EST
Thanks for the site for the manual dowload. I consider the FT-990 to
be a boat anchor because it is almost 20 years old and has a handle to
tie the anchor rope to to keep the boat from drifting. But, the
FT-990 is avery good computer in a radio box back before IC's, many
diodes and single stage transisters.
Found the 3V battery on the control board. But Yaesu used a spot
welded clamp to hold the battery, HARD to remove.
