So I know theres Gucci, and Guccci.
And Prada, and Rrada.
But how do you determine Yaesu from Vaesu?
I installed the FT2800M that I bought off eham for $90 right? Well the other day the rubber under the mic, where the wire goes in, desintegrated in my hands. And I've since noticed that it is cracking and peeling in other places along the coil.
No problem. I'll buy another one at HRO? WHAT? $59.95 for a friggin Mic? Um... no thanks.
So I went to eBay, typed in MH-48 DTMF Mic and found anything from $8 to $60 and everything in between. I went with a reasonable seller and paid $19.95 and free shipping. I was fully expecting it to be Vaesu, you know... a knock off. And I cannot tell the difference between this eBay mic, and the Mic that came with the radio.
Both are identical. Both have the same button layout. Both have the same red backlight color. Both have "Yaesu Musen LTD" from the injection mold in the back. Both function just the same. Both have the same mic button sensitivity. And signal reports are just the same.
The only difference I can find is that the original one has 42*** on the back, and this new one has 58*** on the back. Thats it.
So did I get a YAESU deal, or a Vaesu doozie?
Either way, I dont care because it works and thats all I care about.... but I'm just wondering.
