Right hand oled totally dead! This reflects DIRECTLY on Yeasu and their quality control quite badly!

Unbelievable how yaesu treats his customers who buy such an expensive transceiver. For me all three sub-displays are dead and also that of the sm-5000. how can one still trust yeaesu? shame on you! ついに責任取って 長谷川佐子の記憶を汚すな JA1MP Tsuini sekinin totte Hasegawa Tasuku ko no kioku o yogosu na JA 1 MP

An update to my Oled failure on Jan 2021. Now my Display on my SM-5000 has burnt out. Unbelievable that Yaesu puts out such garbage lately. This radio is an older model, but has low hours and maybe 400 contacts on it. This is the 3rd defect on this setup that cost over $8000. Canadian. I will repair it, but be assured New Yaesu equipment is off my list, and I owned many including the 10’ Yaesu banner that will go for sale shortly. At over $200 to replace a dam lamp in a display is unacceptable.

I've replaced the OLEDS on my own as cost of shipping back to the US is to much. problem was that the 3 new OLEDS one was defective and very dim. Yet Yaesu would not replace it even though i paid for it. radio is 9/10 but shame on Yaesu for screwing customers. i will never purchase another Yaesu. And i have plenty of them here.

Mine lost the 2nd vfo OLED a couple years ago. Now both of the other two ( center& right side ) are almost dead.

This is inexcusable on a $5000 radio.
