Don't misconstrue the message here.
I love my Yaesu FT70. It's a cheap way to get on Yaesu fusion.
It is NOT drop resistant.
The speaker is mounted to the plastic front chassis. It connects to the circuit board, not with a small pigtail and connector, but instead, there are two spring tabs on the board that make contact with pads on the speaker via a press fit.
If you drop the radio, those tabs will get bent toward the circuit board, breaking the circuit. The radio will appear like it's operating normally, but no sound will emanate from the speaker. Speaker mic will work.
Don't bother trying to get the radio fixed by Yaesu if its out of warranty. You'll be paying $95 an hour for a service fee (plus parts), plus shipping. It's cheaper to buy a new radio.
There is an awesome video on Youtube that shows how to open the radio and fix the tabs. I followed the instructions and fixed my radio.
From now on, the radio will sit deep in a pocket, and I'll be using a speaker mic.
Be forewarned.
