Hey Andy, if your passing my QTH in Seaham I will happily make you a cuppa (or several) if you would do the honours on my 950:D I might even get the special chocolate biscuits out that the xyl thinks I dont know about

Seriously though I am just too worried about doing wrong to try it myself!!:(

It was tongue in cheek mate but I was a scardy cat :D

Anyway an update!! I decided to go ahead and take the plunge!!

Simply read the Yaesu instructions line by line and no sooner had I started it was all done:eek:

Have to say, it was worth it!! Not had a massive play with the radio yet but just a quick mess around the bands and menus, I could tell the difference immediately!!

Had a quick look round your website tonight too!! Nice work mate, it was the before and after sound examples you have on there that made my mind up to go ahead with the Firmware!!

Thanks again and you deserve the praise your getting from sites around the world for pushing this before it was disclosed officially by Yaesu!!:D
