Re: radio shutting off when I press PTT


 

Just an (educated) guess, bad or discharged battery?

Hello,

I'm new to the group and somewhat to ham radio. My Yaesu FT60R worked fine yesterday. Today I can hear on the local repeater but when I try to transmit, the radio turns off completely. It comes back on when I release the PTT button. To my best knowledge nothing has changed since I was yakking away happily on the local repeater yesterday. I've looked at the manual, which sadly has no troubleshooting section. I've also searched messages here to no avail. Is there a direction I can go to solve my problem? Thanks in advance!

FYI if it helps: the repeater receive frequency is 147.120. The offset frequency is 147.720. These things were programmed into the used radio I bought so if it's a sudden programming error, I didn't do it! LOL
