[John Pavlick]

No Jay you have it wrong. JR = Junk Radio. LOL 
OK now let's hear all the Ford jokes (I don't build Chevys unless I absolutely have to).

JR – Just Repaired
Or we could re-cycle them – trash-to-trash! lol
No, I’m really not disparaging JR – just a little fun.

I just had my 12Z serviced using the non-expedited shipping method and I had it back a little over a week after I sent it in. I'm in the USA however.

 

I fast charge Ni packs inside the Tx all the time using a Sirius charger. For overnight / slow charging I use either a plug-in wall-wart type of charger (like the one that came with the radio) or my Litco Alpha-4. I don't know if the Triton is really intended for slow charging (C/10) but if you did in fact have it set for C/10 I don't know why it would have melted the pack. You can usually leave a battery on slow charge for 15-20 hours and it's not even warm when you're finished charging.

I put the NiCad battery on charge last night with my trusty Triton set at .2A as I have done many times before. (Pack was still inside the transmitter) A while later I went to check the charge progress and noticed a burningsmell and the charger had stopped chargeing. The plastic case was fused to the internal battery compartment. Needless to say that will have been the last time I charge a pack inside thetransmitter. What is the usual turnaround time for the Futaba Repair Center? How do youusually ship transmitters?  What do you include? I have to ship from Canada I'm still a little shocked as this is the first time something like thishashappend to me in 30 years of flying.
