[Yaesu] Yaesu FT-310 Display Replacement

Mon Nov 6 12:35:41 EST 2017

I've become enamored with Yaesu FT-301's lately and have been working on a
few of them for the last 6 months. Hard to get parts, service doc and info,
but they can be worked on - requires a little persistence. A known weakness
is the digital display. Replacement IC segments are very tough to find and
expensive and the old original units run very hot! I took a chance and
bought a replacement kit from ELcon Engineering in Switzerland. It is a
terrific replacement and one has to look hard to see the difference when the
newer display is installed. 

If you "Google" ELcon Consulting and Engineering or FT-301 display you'll
find their website. The replacement is 100% complete with board, newer
display IC's - runs very cool - and a small remote unit that allows for
display control such as resolution and voltage display. The kit was easy to
assemble, install and setup. It drops in with no hassle at all. FANTASTIC
replacement and arrived at my door in a week's time!
