Unsual Memory Issue With My Yaesu 857D

[N1API]

The damage was not a bad as I expected. Most of the physical work needs to be done on the control head because the select encoder is loose and needs to be replaced. Also the Main Tuner Encoder needs replacement which I did not expect because it was sticky and I thought that it just needed lubrication.

The problem with the audio could not be found. They had it on the scope and said the transmit audio looks good.

The Microprocessor needs to have the firmware reloaded to it, rather than replaced and that should cure the problem of of the damage done by using the CHIRP software on it.

Total repair only $115.00. I expected at least twice more possible approaching $300.00. I expect it will be about two weeks before I have the radio back.
