I got a nice in most ways VR-500 today. The dial/SQ pot is broken but
all other functions are fine. Anyone know of a good repair shop?
I had planned to call Yaesu next week and see about a new pot or at
least a part type number. I bet the knobs are close to the FT-50.
Nice RX overall. I like the band scope idea on SSB. I plan to set this
next to the HF rig and connect to an 80 meter vert antenna outside.
Thanks!
