As chance would have it, I do have a newly purchased battery that HRO has to replace because it’s bad. The thing is: I’ve been transmitting at that power level without any difficulty. I was transmitting yesterday at that level. This is the NiMH that came with my radio, which I bought used. The radio was purchased in 2008, the battery in 2019. Why the sudden dysfunction when my HT was working under these conditions yesterday??
I certainly plan to try again when I put it back together tomorrow. Another ham suggested checking for fried circuits and a bad capacitor.?
