[Yaesu] VX2-R

Sun Feb 8 17:08:31 EST 2009

Hello all......
Question.......
I have just acquired a Yaesu VX2-R. 
I am familiarizing myself with all the functions of this unit.
I have a VX5-R, VX7-R also.
I have 5 very local repeaters to my qth.
Interestingly, the 5 and the 7 pick up the repeaters DFQ, ?"solid", full scale !!!!!
The VX2-R is almost "deaf" to these very strong repeaters.
The s-meter does not even go 1/2 s-meter scale as it does on the other two.
Is there a function that attenuates the signal?
Has anyone else seen this? Is it due to the antenna supplied? Is there a serial number series that was prone to this problem?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Tnx!
Pete
