If you have a voltmeter, check the power supply cable connection to make 
sure that the voltage at the rig stays near 13.6 V when you go into 
transmit.  And finding an auxiliary receiver to monitor the frequency will 
also help.

My brother Paul operates two 757GX's, one in San Diego and one in Lohrville, 
Iowa.  So if you ever run into W6PR on our 20-meter net, you will hear one 
of these rigs.  I don't have any input on where to get your rig repaired, 
but I hope you find someone who will make the attempt.

Subject: anyone know of a repair depot for older radios?

hello all,
I am in need  of someone who can repair (or knows who can) a Yeasu =
FT-757GX1 . THe radio ceased outputting transmit power yesterday. THe =
antenna was plugged in and all connections were  secure. SO, I am not =
sure what caused the problem.

Here's the really laughable bit: I am blind and have the technical =
knowledge saddled with room mates who are not technical at all. That =
means I can tell them whats wrong, but will they understand i? AAAARGH!

So, how about it, anyone know a place I can take or ship this radio for =
repairs that won't jack me an arm and a leg?
