    This is the same problem, I have had with Yaesu customer service. I don't buy Yaesu anymore.

    just take them to small claims court, since they probably wont show up.

    I've had the exact opposite experience when it comes to customer service. Yaesu had me fixed up, stuff on the way, was easy and straightforward. ICOM told me they wouldn't support an obsolete radio which was being sold new on all the usual suspects. Sounds like you had a battery issue that probably wasn't covered under warranty, ok.

    Swapping with an aftermarket lithium battery made my ft-60 so much better. Much longer battery life...

      Unless you also change charger you shouldn’t charge lifepo4 with a charger designed for nickel metal hydride batteries

    Hello, I heard other reviews of how bad Yaesu customer service is. I’ve been considering buying the Yaesu FD5 for some time now, but not sure about overall quality, considering the hairline cracks on the cases in many of the reviews I see. For wideband coverage, I have the Icom ICR6, can’t go wrong with the Icom.

      yes my FT5 has the hairline crack as well, @Yaesu doesnt care about quality control in any manner
      I too have an R6 and adore it

    Yaesu seems like a really high price point for handhelds. Pretty low for their portable/mobile hf rigs. I cant see spending yaesu/icom/kenwood money on a HT. Ill stick with baofeng cheap stuff and put the money towards the nice stuff for mobile and base radios

    You are complaining about a bad battery on a 15 year old HT? Get serious. Spend $35 on a new battery and move on with your life.
