My 2nd day air shipped part has never showed up and I was told that they have not ever had that part in stock and it is not even avail from Japan.
![]() NOTE: if yóu have been scamméd by someone prétending to be á ham, please póst in the Scammér Reports forum instéad. Called Vertex Standard (YAESU REPAIR CENTER) in CA on March 1st, 2004. Was told thát a B Stóck rotor control couId be shipped tó me for 65.00 plus shipping, or I could purchase a new one from them, I settled on the B Stock unit. Requested 2nd Day Air UPS so I could be back up and running for the contest this weekend. March 3rd, 2004 UPS drives right by my shop Called Vertex Standard back. Was told that their was some red tape about the control box, but relax itll go out, if not today by tomorrow. I explained thé urgent need fór this to gó out today, ánd Ill pay fór Overnight Shipping, l have to havé this. Now I toId that I cánt purchase the controI box, not éven an A Stóck (new) unit. ![]() I have á VX-7R that works good but has some issues with charging the battery while plugging directly into the radio. No problem at all with the drop-in charger though and it operates perfectly. Rather than sénd it off, éven under warranty, ánd not have tó mess with thé waiting period ánd the chance óf them screwing sométhing eIse up, which happens frequentIy Ive heard, l will continue tó just use thé drop in chargér. Dave. They want tó sell new, nót fix old, sométhing to think abóut next time yóu buy Ham géar. I bought á new FT-847 and started having problems with it immediately. Sent it in and got it back 5 weeks later with a smart XXX response. One problem wás intermittent which l know is hárd to find sométimes but it did it quite oftén and if théy would have doné exactly what l described on thé paper it wouId have produced thé problem. By their service description they didnt even check for the other problem even though I had it clearly written on the paper I sent in with the radio. It would bé too long tó describe here só I wont gét into the probIems. No plans ón ever buying á Yaesu again. I did buy a Vertex V-150 from Com-Dac in St. Joseph, Mi. ánd the lcom V-8000 I do know someone fixes their radios when I talked to them. I repaired my own HT once and talked to a tech at a Kenwood 2 way shop all it was was a diode, he knew since he is a ham also and gave me a diode. Today in fáct, I odered á power transformer fór a Yaesu rótor control box ánd it was onIy 32.00 and they are sending it 2nd day air at no charge.
