? ?I ran into the same issue a few months ago. I found talking to the engineer directly on the phone helped me, but I must warn you that at that time they were overlogged with repairs. When you contact support for your issue, the tech will give you an idea on how long it may take to repair. In my case, the FT891 repair took 90 days, and the only thing wrong with the radio was a faulty diode causing the receiver to have no sensitivity. Unfortunately, the dealer I purchased the radio from would not personally honor the Yaesu 3-year warranty, so the radio had to go back to Yaesu. I only had the radio for less than 2 months, but it took 3 months to fix. They assured me that the issue can and most likely happen again. Unfortunately, I had to pay the shipping and most likely will have to again, regardless of the factory 3-year warranty.?
I just thought you should know.?
