My rig died a couple of weeks ago. It was one of the early Dec 2000 rigs. I had batteries in the radio. I had it connected into my new Tokyo HiPower amp. I pluged in the external power cable to my big

Is the green LED lit while trying to receive on 2m? You may want to try re-seating the ribbon connector regardless. -JohnT (KB5HWS) finished

Because the user could have contributed to the problem as well - overheated it by operating in an enclosed case - applied overvoltage - change the calibration settings to disable SWR-protection,

I have no audio on 2 M. No transmit for that matter. I just finished the all band mod. Any ideas? N7AW

Yes...What he said Geo W7LFD

If Yaesu is aware it's an obvious problem. Why would they not fix them for free for anyone with a radio made before a determined date or lot number or ser. number, whatever? To bad it's not a safety

Very interesting! We went through a long drawn out thread here on the list a while back that was exactly about what you experienced. As I recall, several people complained that their 817's finals died

Hi all My 817 stopped txing a few weeks ago. I took it back to walters & stantons http:///www.wsplc.com The warranty is a 2 year as standard. I put it in for repair 26/6/03 and collected it today (15

BELIEVE ME, no one babys his rigs like I do! I've been hamming for 20 years and never blew a final on anything! In fact, I was a bit skeptical about all of these blown final claims. But, there does

FT817-ER For years I wanted to build an Emergency Radio for maximum communications capability on HF, when there is no other power source (e.g. Remote Area or a major disaster). Everything must be in

Mine blew about three days after the anniversary -- grin. There's been a lot of speculation why the 817 PA's go, and I cling to mine; those power FET's were new technolgy, and the reliability wasn't

That $300 is for replacing the entire PA assemby -- basically, the back half of the radio, switched harmonic filters and all. I made the mistake of asking the Vertex-Stndard folks for the amplier

The absence of failure on already repaired units would give credence to the bad batch theory. Let's hope that's the case. Regarding the CB finals, they do not have to pump these 5W from 1.8 to 450

I'm curious about all these final failures. How are you guys using the rigs? Are you using those "toys" like the "One Big Punch" or something? But then again, if that were a problem, I'd expect them

I have some of the new transistors ( BTW Infinite VSWR protected), the RD07MVS1, and am in the process of getting ready to replace the old one's on a failed board (CB1333001 FINAL UNIT 43.88 EACH)

Just a suggestion, but I wonder if you explain tthe situation about the rig sitting in the box for a year, maybe they will honor the warranty even though the rig is out of warranty. I've heard of it

Good point, Bob! Yeah, who the heck wants to go through this misery more than once!? finals. This stage, are at new finals, so that the the final work, but why that the

Sadly, because stoopid here hasn't used the rig since I got it last year. The darn thing sat in a box. I should know better: my philosophy is 'use and abuse' something while it is under warranty - if

That $300+ repair really sucks, considering many of us got the radio brand new at Dayton for $499.99. PERRY wrote:
