Yaesu Confirms FTM-350R Troubles

DateTuesday, January 26, 2010 at 09:20AM

This morning, I received an e-mail from Yaesu tech support telling me they had reproduced the NAVIgation problems that I’ve been experiencing and reporting on. Yaesu USA has sought help from Japan in dealing with the problem.

Do you suppose this radio was actually tested before it was released? How difficult is it drive around and see if the navigation function points in the right direction?

It appears the radio cannot be changed with a firmware upgrade, so I am expecting they may all need to go back to the factory. As I remember, there was also a recall of VX-8’s when they were released.
