Owners within the UK and Europe if not already done so should register their FTDX9000 model with Yaesu UK Ltd. Details of what information to send and where to send it are at the end of this announcement.
Owners outside the UK and Europe should contact their respective International Yaesu Dealer.

The PEP program involves upgrading the firmware in the Main CPU and DSP and replacement of a number of PCBs in the radio depending on the serial numbers of your radio.
The firmware addresses the following items:
DNR… superior SSB mode noise reduction
DNF…greater reduction of beat tones
AGC… attack time fine-tuned
Digital Filter... increased Sharp/Soft differentiation
SSB speech processor audio augmented
Higher Band Scope refresh rate
Faster CAT COMMAND communication
CW side tone clarity
Activate RTTY monitor while transmitting
Ringing during CW super narrow receiving
The board replacement includes the following boards:
CNTL-UNIT TX-UNIT
DSP-UNIT SCP-UNIT
RX-1-UNIT RX-2-UNIT (D/MP)
Power Meter
Vertex Standard will provide all parts and labour for the FTDX9000 PEP at our expense.
DO NOT ship your radio until you are requested to do so by email or telephone from Yaesu UK. Unscheduled shipments will cause confusion and delay in returning your radio.
The manufacturer’s warranty will continue from the original date of purchase (refer to your Warranty Card). In addition the Performance Enhancement parts and labour are warranted for 90 days from the return of your radio.
Any requested non-warranty repairs or damage would be made at owner’s expense.
Units will be carefully scheduled to minimize any backlog or time delays at the UK Repair centre. The project will only be offered for one year and will expire December 31, 2009.
You will be able to determine that your radio has been updated by looking for the special PEP9000 label near the serial number on the back of the radio.
If your radio has this label all the updates are completed. Do not send it for updates.
Packing and packing materials are the owner’s responsibility.
Care in packing and the use of proper packaging materials is critical for safe shipment and the validity of any insurance claims. Please use the original packing materials. Be sure the packaging material are not damaged and that the radio is held securely in position inside the box. The front of the radio may need additional foam, soft cushion or padding. Place the radio inside a plastic wrapping or large bag to protect the paint.
Before shipping your radio, make a written record of your customized menu settings. You may also use the CF card to save and restore the old settings into the PEP9000 updated radio, (the menu order is different but restoring is now possible with the V5.08 or higher software). Please see the new PEP9000 Menu Mode List, posted in the FTdx9000 files section. (www.yaesu.com) The Radio will be set to the factory default settings when it is returned.
