[450] ts-850

Wed Sep 13 16:07:40 UTC 2017

Well,  I should be getting the TS450 soon. I am pretty excited. 

If you feel like sending any of your stuff out for repair, this guy
comes highly recommended.
Not just from reviews, but a local ham told me about him and said he is
great and VERY reasonably priced.

Hey - what about the upstairs station? 

It would be cool to hear you on the air.

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.
