I had a mobile alinco, forget the number, the mic connector went bad, sent
it back, it came back, same thing, a friend of mine had the same problem
with another mobile,  sent it back it was fixed for a month,I also had a
DJS-11T for college, the volume knob locked up on it, j ust 1 day it
wouldn't turn, got another one and again, after 3 weeks, the knob got very
hard to turn, and intermod was horrible on that as well,  when the 2nd one
had the volume get so tight I could barely turn it I did a quick fix on it
and sold it on eBay  lol, some one else's problem now, oh ya, the speaker
mic too, the clip on the back of it snapped the first time I tried to use
it.   Never again. they weren't accessible anyway for the most part.
