I received a mail from AA6SQ about Extended transmitter frequency range
for FT990 and FT1000

-Remove top and bottom covers. 
Remove top screw on each side which holds front panel to chassis. 
Pivot front panel down slowly. 
CAUTION: if you let it go, it will flop down rapidly and probably tear somethins loose. 

Behind the meter will be the CNTL unit. 
It has a metal cover about 4 * 8 inches. 
Snap the cover off. Look to the top of the unit. 
You will see JP-3. 
Remove the solder connection on JP-3.
