Reminds me of when many of us had yaesu 207 hts, first synthesized
talkies with key board entry. A real battery hog, but a neat radio for
its time. There was a known problem of the second conversion crystal
from 10.7 to 455kc would go intermitant, particularly in cold. I called
one day and got "first we've heard of this" I called back the second
time a couple days later and got same "you're the first one to report
this." I said, my friend and I both called you 2 days ago and reported
this problem. Silence....
