Thought I would share this with people.

I've had a problem with my Yaesu VX2e Radio recently. PTT was not working.
I investigated all sorts of options to try and get a repair done but to no
avail (no one was willing to have a look at it, or I  was quote £45 'just to
have a look' or worse was advised to chuck it out and by a new set -
symptomatic of the throw away age we live in). Was almost at the point of
buying a new one.
However on the advice of Ian Kennedy I went to a small independent radio
shop in Edinburgh who sorted the radio out in an afternoon and only charged
me a tenner to boot (saving me a hundred and plenty pounds).
Really excellent service and very friendly.
Before you ask I have no affiliations with this shop other than being a very
satisfied customer.
They did a similar job on Ian's radio for the same price.
Hope this is of some use to you if you need it.

Cliff

Hi
Sounds good.
Steve Giles at S&Wrong said that  Yaesu's distributor stopped supplying some
PG shops with this radio as they said it was not suited to heav\y handed
pilots :-)  They said that for PG it should always be used with a separate,
robust  PTT if possible. I have this set-up, its quite amusing in a way as
the PTT is bigger than the radio !

Cheers
Brian
