I wonder if this is a battery issue, possibly affecting any user, or simply a handheld that was supposed to be rated for use in explosive environments which turns out not to meet spec.
In any event, a very funny recall notice! 73, Paul, AE4KR ----- Original Message ----- From: ks4ec To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, August 06, 2009 2:55 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] OT: Suicom 2 way radio Transceiver recall - Ouch! This was clipped from the web site http://indonetwork.net/suicom2way_radio/1486669/ct-08-recall.htm CT-08 RECALL NOTICE Due to fault of design and distractor of components when manufacturing, the CT-08 will probably cause explosion while operating. The possibility is very high. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. DOH! But they will give you 4x what you paid for it!
