Re: [Repeater-Builder] OT: Suicom 2 way radio Transceiver recall - Ouch!
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!

If I'd have to guess I'd say certain components, like polarized electrolytic capacitors are installed backwards on the board.

But then...how did they make it through quality assurance?

Yeah, well if it is low voltage usually it will sneak through. I had a tantalum on a 5volt rail in a stereo generator that the factory put in backwards which ran fine for 5 years, then it got angry and quit working and when I pulled the lid 4-5 hours later the tant blew right in my face, easy to find.
