Willi Rass at http://www.df4nw.de/ had some replacement programmed PROM's for the DR7 board but I have not heard of anyone offering a replacement prom for the Digital control board.
Thank you.

I know that there is someone, can't remember who, offering a replacement for the PROM on the DR7, but I've not seen anyone offering the PROM for the digital control board. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out the programming, though. Personally, anything with a PROM makes me a little nervous, for the reasons you are experiencing. AFAIK, there is no real advantage to the board with the PROM, and the non-PROM board is a little easier to modify to do a PROPER all-band transmit mod. 73 -Jim -- Ham Radio NU0C TR7/RV7/R7A/L7, TR6/RV6, T4XC/R4C/L4B, NCL2000, SB104A, R390A, GT550A/RV550A, HyGain 3750, IBM PS/2 - all vintage, all the time!
