Alan, I recollect your advice when my spat was broken......your radio does not create lift. I have a spare Icom you can borrow if you like.Bundy wrote:It aint the batteries boet.... wish it was! Radio been sent in for a check up and to repair the charging jack pin...then the whole comms set up will be gone through with a fine tooth comb to isolate and find the problem.Asterix wrote: Bundy - change the batteries...
Hopefully by next week we will be sorted....and heard!
Found the earthing problem on my aeries radio. The 12 V barrel plug has to be of specific dimensions, especially the length of the insulating plastic at the tip. Most of these plugs have too long plastic tips and then the earth (negative) does not make contact. The radio however still gets its earth via the aerial. Not ideal.
James, I have 3 spare bedrooms, with double beds and fresh, crisp, linen, you can choose from. Up to you. Oh,.... you will however have to participate in the k@@lg@t part we have every Saturday evening.
