[Kenwood] Ts 570DG fails to power up.

[Fern Rivard]

Hi Mark:

    If the radio was advertised as a working radio and no mention of any 
problems with it, then it should be a "no brainer" that the radio was 
mis advertised and the seller should certainly take some interest in 
making things right for you. You may want to reveal who the seller was 
and make him pay attention that this could be considered fraud. Most 
sellers don't want that kind of negative publicity and will resolve the 
situation without any stalling tactics.
    Good luck from Fern

Regarding who is responsible, I would say it depends on how it was 
advertised.  Did the seller list it as being functional, or at least 
that it won't be DOA?  If so, then he should take some responsibility 
for it, since it arrived "deader than the proverbial doorknob".

On the other hand, if he was selling it "untested" or "as-is" (no 
promises or guarantees), then you took a chance and lost, unfortunately. 
I don't think the seller is responsible for it in that case, although if 
he knew it wasn't working he should have disclosed that.  Just my 
opinion.

73 and Good Luck,
Don W2DAS

Has anyone seen a 570 DG fail to power up?

Is it a common problem?

I just received one(which I bought for my dad) which is deader than the
proverbial doorknob.

No apparent damage to boxes, it was packed well by the Ham whom  I 
bought it
from.

I didn't want to open it up until we come to some agreement on how to
proceed, but he is already saying it is my problem.
My position is that the seller is responsible UNTIL it arrives safely 
and
functional(I have taken a few back which were D.O.A. but working when 
sent)

I never made it into the house with it, hooked it up to my station in 
the
garage, and  no go!   (and NO I did not hook it up backwards-I even used 
my
ts 2000 power cable in the house.....2000 works fine, 570 is dead.)

I just wondered if it was a common thing.

Can these reflector messages be searched?  I cant figure how to do it.

Thanks,

Mark
