Oh man!
It totally blows that you have had to go through all this just to get a
radio.

I wish you luck!

Probably another 14 day turn around to end this nightmare. Next time I'll buy the radio from amazon, at least when you call and say something isn't good they'll  send another one quickly or wait until ups puts the return lablel and inputs it into the computer and amazon issues an immediate replacement. Ridiculous I spent about 1265$ and they treat the customer as if he just bought an ice cream cone. I'm done with DX Engineering.

I told them over the phone that it didn't power up regardless of what I did, so they're just gonna replace it with another unit, if this one doesn't work, I might go for a Yaesu 857D. But I'm not looking forward to that situation. The new IC-9700 looks sweet heh.

Maybe call them up and tell them the situation and they will replace it with a "known" new one with free shipping and free return shipping on your end.
