Moleculo,
Any response from Yaesu as to the specific extent of what they are fixing on the rigs? Curious if they've identified other fixable things - beyond your Nav/APRS glitches.
Glad your audio corrected and stayed that way, Skysho. I'm a number of days out since having audio troubles....so far, so good. Hope it stays that way. Are you presently using an external speaker with your rig? Having the same issue I have, where the left audio seems to mostly end up...
Well, I've had my replacement 350 for about a week now - and thus far, I've had no spontaneous power-down events or obvious system freezes while using the radio. I'm one of those rare customers who bought this unit just for the radio itself & the outstanding display.....so I cannot comment on...
Just got my replacement 350 today and installed it in my truck. Thus far, after a few hours of testing, I'm not getting any spontaneous power-downs or obvious audio problems. I'll keep you posted.
Dan,
Curious how the right side audio is doing. I had persisting (R) radio audio problems....sent my radio back and should be receiving the replacement FT350 tomorrow. I'll let you know how that unit performs.
Well, hopefully we'll get to the bottom of these issues & find some fixes that don't involve a trip to the Yaesu repair shop. I sent my radio back to the vendor, because it was powering down/losing responsiveness at times (even despite pulling the power) and the right audio was persistently...
Wise87,
Any freezes or glitches with your 350 rig, thus far? I shipped mine back to the vendor and am just using a 7900 in my car for now. I'm very hopeful that only certain radios have issues - and it's not a widespread thing. If enough people have had good success with this radio, I'll...
Today, while simply sitting on a repeater frequency, the radio powered itself down & became unresponsive for over an hour - then suddenly became functional again. Disconnecting the power did not resolve the situation. Also, the right-side audio remains scratchy and weak - particularly when...
Good - I'll try using the stereo/mono adapter as you've described...had actually been wondering about that when I found it in the box. Has the audio glitch returned at all, even for a moment, since you performed the reset? I'm gonna go ahead and try the reset later today.
Curiously, I...
Thanks for the reply. I may just try that maneuver if it does not correct....or if it gets worse. I actually do really like the fact that one side comes through the internal speaker and the other side is now only on the external speaker. There was some initial scratchiness - but that has...
Just got my 350 today and installed in vehicle/programmed it. No issues with screen flickering/radio re-boots when the radio is on and the vehicle is started/turned off (as had been reported by some other users).
Curiously, I installed an external speaker (Yaesu brand) & selected both...
System locking up?
Good morning Gentlemen,
Thanks for the superb reviews!
My Kenwood D-710 just died on me after almost 4 years of good service.....looking around for a replacement and am intrigued by this new release from Yaesu. I'm actually just gonna buy something just for the radio...
