I'm not a ARRL member, but if the ARRL would help out, I'd gladly
join. This is $420 of MY MONEY I consider Ford and Budco have stolen.
Needless to say, I will NEVER own another Ford in my lifetime.

Thanks.

I experienced a similar issue with my new 2002 Subaru Outback.
I'm a volunteer FF and as soon as Subaru fould out about it
via the dealer service records they claimed that my Subaru was
in "Police/Fire/Public Safety" service and revoked my extended
warranty plan, and attached a statement to my VIN record station
that because I had installed "VHF/UHF transmitting equipment"
in my Subaru, all of my vehicle electronics were no longer covered
inder warranty. Nedless to say, I sold the Subaru for a Dodge
Ram and have had no problems with GM. SUBARU CUSTOMER
SERVICE ARE TWO-FACED LYING S.O.B's WHO ACT LIKE
THEIR CAR PRODUCTS ARE THE BEST THING ON EARTH.

PHOOEY ON THEM AND THEIR LYING CAR AD'S ON TV !!

TO HELL WITH THEM AND THEIR CRAP LL BEAN OUTBACK
THAT I OWNED. I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM AGAIN
AND IF YOUR A HAM AND ARE CONSIDERING BUYING
A SUBARU....DON'T DO IT!!! THEY ( MEANING BOTH THE DEALER
AND THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE) WILL SCREW YOU OVER
2 WAYS INTO NEXT WEEK ! DON'T BUY SUBARU. THEY LIE AND
THEY BUILD GARBAGE.
