Hi Garry, I have the same problem and contacted the official importer for Italian market, they were very nice, they said the ppart is available at the cost of 16€+tax, the only drwback is that they need to order it from Japan and it takes 60 to 90 days. This is the email of the guy I talked to [email protected] Ciao!!

I have a 500 an need a new back case and battery door as mine is cracked. Any idea of where to get one. I tried the company an they certainly don't have good customer service.

I don't care about or necessarily agree with the negatives. It's a great little radio and if something happened to it I'd buy another one. I listen to the Coast Guard and SSB aero HF frequencies as well as UHF military aircraft and it works well for me.

None of my present wideband handhelds is perfect, so the VR-500 doesn't have to be either.
