[1000mp] Need Help with low power out!

Sat, 3 May 2003 20:30:34 -0400

Hi Dan....radio in for 3 days and returned fixed with 2 2SC3133 replaced.
These are driver transistors. Needed some adjustment too.
Works great now....cost $270.00 CDN including Tax. (189.00 US).
You were right.

Thanks

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.
