Need repair for 8200 in US bought in UK

[rrtygrys]

My dear 8200 has taken ill and the AOR USA site says they won't work on radios from overseas. Does anyone know of any reputable shops in the US that might be able to help me?

thanks!

If you can expand your search outside of the US than AOR Japan will work. I couldn't figure out how to make AOR UK work but that may be an option as well.

I might try that as a last resort though sending something to Japan seems daunting since I don't speak Japanese and the few people at AOR US I talked to didn't even speak very good English. Somehow I think sending it there would be the last I see of it. But then it isn't much use to me now is it? Hmmmm.

Send the email. You will not have any problem with language.

the saga continues...

So I contacted AOR Japan and was told they could not receive, repair, or return a unit like mine to the US due to customs regulations.
So how do all the dealers do it? I have never had a problem buying from Javiation, I just can't get them to answer my emails about service. It would be most unfortunate to have to buy another radio, especially because I don't think this one is ready for retirement. Any thoughts out there?
