Yep and from what I have been reading from others and experienced with my
own Yaesu FT-817 (no longer own it) some of those rice boxes come with an
added feature.... automatic update. When the PA section fries as it willor
has in at least 10% or more of the 817's they will let you send it back for
repair and updates <grin>. And they are more then happy to charge you for
the service if after one year. Even for horrid QC or design flaws on their
part.
