Lost a button on my AnyTone 878 UVII Plus 😢 here at #Hamvention
HRO says they can contact AnyTone for me and see if I can order a replacement.
I stopped by BridgeCom and DX Engineering and both said they've never seen this before, and couldn't help. Hopefully, the contact at HRO can help. *fingers crossed*
I've reached out to:
* AnyTone (directly; no response)
* BridgeCom
* DX Engineering
* Ham Radio Outlet
* Powerwerx
and so far, most vendors have said to reach out to AnyTone directly or don't have any options available
I've even looked at getting a broken one on eBay, but those are still expensive
I might have to ask a friend to 3D print one
Has this happened to anyone else who has an AnyTone 878 UV*?
(and of course, it's out of warranty)
update:
I got sent a link by someone to this, http://www.wouxun.us/item.php?item_id=447&category_id=91
(I'm assuming they don't want credit since the message was "locked")
It is more than I need, but it has the button. So, I bought it and swapped out the red button with my radio, as I didn't want to take my radio completely apart just to replace the button (as I'm not sure I could have put it back together)
And now I have extra buttons, in case I lose a different one.
@k8vsy wow, three months with no response on a simple parts issue? That's... Not great. :(
And no, this hasn't happened to me (yet) on my 878 UVII ... And now I'm worried about that.
