I once ran a Standard Hozizon VHF over with a car. Except for the display, it powered up and worked perfectly. I sent it to the factory with a letter explaining exactly what happened, asking for a repair estimate.

They sent me a new one, no questions asked, at no charge.

That was about 15 years ago. I've since purchased 2-3 more from them as batteries have quit. I doubt I'll ever buy any other brand...
