Yaesu told me flat out they aren't interested in making radios accessible
and they really charged me way too much when I had my FT-11R to fix it, I
said if it would cost over $125, what I paid for the radio used, not to fix
it,  that was a great price, but I also asked them to call me with an
estimate and they didn't, just called me saying, it's done we want $200.
I got that radio back, tested it and sold it,  now all I have Yaesu is my
FT-51 and I keep that for sentimental reasons.
