    Who Still has a Life-Time Warranty in Effect?

    Bought my 2014 in 2016 with the Max Care and unfortunately have had to use it almost on a yearly basis. Had issues with air shocks, back up camera, side view mirror, it's a bit of a list. Thank God I have it...

    LOL, it caught my eye and like I said, was probably tripping back to my younger days. I did call Yaesu and the tech there was able to produce the same on his FT3DR, so it does appear to be in the engineering. Though the Yaesu tech/customer support guy said he was also now bugged by it as he...

    Image should be attached. I want to call Yaesu first then decide. I am old enough to remember all my transistor radio's and when those knobs started to go, the radio became useless. I am probably tripping back to my childhood...LOL

    Ham Radio Antenna

    That's exactly it. I sent it back to Dx for them to have a look and they said they matched it to several others and they were all the same, it still isn't sitting right. I reached out to Yaesu via email but may have to give a call now. I have to see if Dx put it back in the mail or I will be...

    Snoty, if you don't mind a question about your FT3DR. I sent mine back to DxEngineering and they did say they compared it to several others and they were the same but for my sanity as it still doesn't seem correct, does the volume knob, the larger knob only turn clockwise and counter clockwise...

    Ham Radio Antenna

    Frisk, I may have missed it but who is the manufacturer? I have time to look into this now that I passed the technician a couple weeks ago and already had to send back my Yaesu FT3DR to DxEngineering for a possible repair, (volume knob was very loose, you could wobble it back and forth). Where...

    Ham Radio Antenna

    LOL, I have been in IT for a little over 30 years and I agree, it has been more hands-on but I think that is true with anything. I don't know the 'corporate culture' of HAM but if this discipline goes like the computer industry, open source (DMR) will be a hard nut to crack as not 'one' company...

    Ham Radio Antenna

    Let me throw this out. First thing I read to do before purchasing an HT is to see what 'protocol' repeaters in my area support. From what I can see, using 'repeater book' application on IOS, it seems like DMR is the dominant force. That being said, would it be safe to conclude that Yaesu...

    2014 Ram 1500 5.7 Crew. Purchased in 2016 with the Max Care Warranty. Wasn't going to spend the extra few thousand but thank God I did. Since 2016, the truck has been in just about once a year for a major repair. The air shocks had the main computer replaced then the compressor to really fix...

    Lots of hood mounts, is the controversy that large with hood vs. roof? Hood vs roof with magnet vs not drilling hole in roof?
