[1000mp] Need Help with low power out!

Sun, 20 Apr 2003 09:13:00 -0400

Doug, this sounds exactly like what happened to my radio. The power out is
almost identical. It was sent back to Yaesu and they replaced some of the
drive transistors and a few switching transistors. Cost around $200
including shipping. Unless you're familiar with surface mount work-Yaesu is
the better choice to fix this.
