Hi All Again
Just replaced the 2 resistors in the control box of the
g800 AGAIN, this time with 120 ohm 2 watters, if they go I
am going to chuck this piece of s__t out the door & put up
the ham 4.
Mark
ps:the last set of 120ohm 1 watters lasted less than 2
weeks, Yaesu claims their aren't any problems with the
design of the g800s control box, the first set of resistors
died at 3 months (they supplied replacements) the second at
13 months (send it in we will fix it for around $100), this
is now the 6th pair of resistors & the control board has
burnt through so bad that I have had to replace traces with
wire! The g800s control box is JUNK!!!
