[1000mp] yaesu repair

Thu, 20 Dec 2001 21:04:55 -0600

My personal experience with Yaesu has been very good.  They beat their time
estimate, charged only a few dollars for simple parts and had about an hour
labor, which I thought was fair on a 1000MP, and sent the radio back to me.
You sure can't get a diagnosis on your car for $35.

On my FT101ZD, they sold me the entire preamp for about $55.  It quit
working during a lightning storm and I suspect it simply needed a FET, but I
thought the price for the module was fair and it took me about 15 minutes to
install it.  Fixed that one, too.

Subject: [1000mp] yaesu repair

Someone had asked about Yaesu factory repair efficiency on the west coast.
I have an FT 107m that is having trouble in the output . . the finals . .
the final tuning . . I don't know, but no gas in the tank, so to speak.  I
want to donate it to the school amateur radio club.  So I called Yaesu
today.

I was told the turn around is 6 to 8 weeks, and the price was $70 an hour
plus parts and shipping. If you want an estimate, they will give you an
estimate for $35 . . plus shipping to return it to you if you decide you
don't want to pay their price.
