Radio Repair

[Cliff Smith]

Thought I would share this with people.

 

I've had a problem with my Yaesu VX2e Radio recently. PTT was not working.

I investigated all sorts of options to try and get a repair done but to no avail (no one was willing to have a look at it, or I  was quote £45 'just to have a look' or worse was advised to chuck it out and by a new set - symptomatic of the throw away age we live in). Was almost at the point of buying a new one.

However on the advice of Ian Kennedy I went to a small independent radio shop in Edinburgh who sorted the radio out in an afternoon and only charged me a tenner to boot (saving me a hundred and plenty pounds).

Really excellent service and very friendly.

Before you ask I have no affiliations with this shop other than being a very satisfied customer.

They did a similar job on Ian's radio for the same price.

Hope this is of some use to you if you need it.

Hi

Sounds good.

Steve Giles at S&Wrong said that  Yaesu's distributor stopped supplying some PG shops with this radio as they said it was not suited to heav\y handed pilots :-)  They said that for PG it should always be used with a separate, robust  PTT if possible. I have this set-up, its quite amusing in a way as the PTT is bigger than the radio !

 

Cheers
