Well, from my other thread it looks like I have five F60s with a blown PA (max power at Hi <0.5W). I am going to talk to a local authorized dealer service center about repair, but I am wondering if I should just go straight to ICOM and look into them doing it? I would not be too worried about it except I went with the F60 because I need a waterproof radio. They will get wet and possibly submerged. I am worried about them getting sealed up well after a repair. I am wondering if ICOM is more likely to be able to repair them right than a local dealer service.
Any experiences with ICOM factory repair vs dealer service for something like this?
