Hi Steve, Yes, HRO in Portland is installing the VGS1's in both the 590 and the TM-V71 I also ordered. Take care all and very 73.

The only time they didn't was when I ordered my TS-2000 and they had it shipped from the Atlanta store. I think Atlanta just didn't want to do it. Fortunately, the chip was easy to install, but I can tell you I was very nervous about doing it.
