Re: No Tx,unless just off the charger
Sorry Jerry I miss understood your post. You mean the battery is being discharged EXTREMELY QUICKLY IN SECONDS? Is there a short? Is the battery old? Is the battery normal temperature? What are you

Re: No Tx,unless just off the charger
Hey Jerry Before we panic, give the battery a full charge and try again. As you know the transmitter needs a certain voltage, like something more than 6.9V, to be delivered to it before it can

Re: unable to change frequencies
Hey godly_mistle "A friend of mine who is out in Spain paragliding" Has your friend landed? I do not advise repairing a radio in flight ? It sounds to me that maybe the keypad has gone bad? Do

Re: unable to change frequencies
I experienced similar this AM on my FT-60 and noted that my speaker/mic was not ¡°completely¡± plugged into the HT. Being partially inserted, but not completed apparently locked the keypad and

Re: unable to change frequencies
To all who suggested the keypad may be locked: The original poster said his friend HAD DONE "A FULL FACTORY RESET." The radio WILL NOT be locked after a full reset. 73, Jim K5JG

Re: unable to change frequencies
He sent me a picture of the radio definitely not locked and on the default frequency from a reset. I did a reset on mine to compare and it matches except I have full control.

Re: unable to change frequencies
He said his friend had done a factory reset on the radio which would clear the keypad/dial lock. In fact, can a reset even be done if the keypad is locked? I don't know. 73, Jim K5JG
