Sent 7800 from Thailand to Wash state for waranty repair. On the way via UPS.... the radio suffered 8 stops and a drop on its rear that broke the four BNC sockets on the rear. Repair is about $350. I used the same boxes that the radio arrived here in from Calif via FedEx, but this time a UPS ape dropped it, or threw it. Charles Harpole k4vud at hotmail.com
