Just buy one and sell it when when you want another one.

That's probably what I'll wind up doing....

How is the audio on these radios? I have read on other forums about low audio. But I do see yeticom upgraded the mics, so maybe that helped the problem?

The one single attribute of this radio that has been discussed ad nauseam, is audio performance.

Well,I just fired a EM to DTB about the MK3's he has in and what comes with one as well any mods.

I read his warranty policy. Whom exactly do you send the unit to for warranty? Also, his price is high, especially after adding shipping.

By Telecom's warranty center. I'll have my answer soon enough. I just thought I'd throw him into the mix and besides, he does good work on setting one up.

I've owned 5 of them and not one needed "set up". Maybe a quick AMC tweak is all.

I was thinking along the same lines.
That's a fast 'LIKE' Camaro1.

DTB said,"No mods. Align and tune available".

 

[Mudfoot]

That's because he isn't gonna pop the seals. I doubt he has a stateside warranty source either.

His price is still to high and if you have a problem, you'll just get a canned response of S.O.L.

No doubt....on everything. Meh.

I did check with DTB on it so I know my options. Getting a tuned and aligned radio from him is like having a autographed set of golf clubs from Arnold Palmer instead of Gomer Pyle. Shazzammm!!!!

Man in all honesty the optima MK3 doesn't need to be tuned and aligned. This radio is good from the factory! It's a well made export radio, one of the best if not the best build quality for an export radio anyway. Like Duster stated, the only real thing that "might" need some adjustment is the AMC, and get rid of the stock mic, it's just too small. Don't know what it would cost for a DTB radio and not putting him down in any way as I know he is a good tech, but this radio is just a good one from the factory!! And most guys end up popping the lid anyway to see what's under the hood! JMO, buy the radio and use it, if you then feel that it needs to be "tuned and aligned", then have it done. But save your money and use it for a better mic. The HM-36 icom mic (japan model), made a world of difference and also with an adapter I am now using my 2018 extreme mic, and it works well for dx'ing. I am able to turn the mic gain all the way up and the mic volume all the way up and not sound like shit. And it definitely helps with cutting through the pile up, or so I have noticed. Anyway JMO, have a great one and God Bless.
