Title: yaesu handheld microphone problems
Post by: starshippe on July 08, 2013, 05:50:27 PM

   i recently had to send the yaesu amateur handheld back to the shop due to lack of modulation. a new microphone resolved the problem.
   i more recently had to sent the yaesu aviation handheld back to the shop due to lack of modulation. a new microphone resolved the problem.
   i was wondering if anyone else had had a recent problem regarding the yaesu handheld microphones? maybe they got a bad batch?

thanks,
bill

Must be a bad batch, I have used a Yaesu FT-7900R for about 3 years now with a DTMF MH-48A6J mic and have received no complaints about it.

I'd suggest contacting Yaesu via here: http://www.yaesu.com/?cmd=ContactUs&DivisionID=65 (http://www.yaesu.com/?cmd=ContactUs&DivisionID=65) and provide them information such as the mic s/n or anything else that can help them trace when it was made. They may very well have a bad batch and may not even know.
