Re: Procrastination is my middle name

I had the display in mine replaced by Yaesu about two years ago.  Total 
cost was about $125.  Worked great for about six months, and now this 
replacement display is just as bad as the one that was replaced.  I am a 
bit miffed about that, esp. since my VR-500 doesn't see any hard use; it 
sits on the bed headboard most of the time and I take it to monitor local 
traffic when traveling.
