Summary: MAJOR problem with Yaesu FT5200
To anyone with a Yaesu FT5200 with the 'wireless' mike option:
DO NOT, *REPEAT*, DO NOT leave your radio on unattended with this
option installed.....any 49 MHz transmission in its vicinity will be
dutifully repeated through the radio and onto the air that is selected on
the left frequency display.
I discovered it the hard way: Car in the driveway, radio on. Me inside,
on my cordless phone. Entire conversation (at least MY SIDE OF IT)
was retransmitted over the local regional repeater for all to hear. And,
it was not a conversation I'm particularily pleased with public reception of.
Beware!
