Hi to all again,
Since my last video/post...
I've received my Yaesu VX-8R back from Yaesu Inc. California with a note saying they cleaned it up and generally found nothing wrong with it in so sent it back to me?!?
Apparently the tech who wrote the note saw my YouTube post via worldwidedx.com !
Here's My Solution:
1) Take apart the radio
2) Investigate the inside features
3) Locates and see if speaker contacts can be fixed
4) Adjust spring loaded contacts to provide more force against speaker
5) Put radio back together making sure water tight seals are still in place.
6) Tests radio and hey presto problem solved...!

****************** Original Problem with Audio ******************
Hi,
My Yeasu VX-8R has developed an issues with it's speaker where the sound output is muffled or as some would describe crunchy. It seems to have to do with the speaker contacts with the main board as when you press on the speaker (squeeze the radio) the audio returns to normal! Other that this the radio functions perfectly ?!?
Should I RMA this radio or is this normal?
