I had a bad deal with Richard . I made a trade deal with him on a ft 1000 mp and he told me the radio had nothing wrong . So I drove 6 hours to pick it up I talked on the radio every thing looked ok so we made the deal . On my way home Richard calls me on the phone and told me there was a tip of a 1/8 inch plug broke off in the ext speaker jack after I had drove a 150 or so miles from his house. So when I get home I check the ext speaker jack and nothing there . So I hooked the radio up turn it on and no audio out of the speaker I ckecked every thing. I plug into the phone jack on the front of the radio and I had audio. Anyways long story short some one had put voltage in the ext jack and blow out af board I talked to Richard and told him what I found wrong.He told me he had no clue what happened . So after a number of phone calls he said he would pay for the repairs .So I sent the radio off to get the repair done. Got the radio back called Richard and tolded him how much it was and sent a copy of the bill to him . I have not herd from him since I have sent a number of e-mails and calls and he will not return any
