No Tx,unless just off the charger
|
Hi,All- Problem I haven't seen before. Started at a repeater site,where the main is a TV station TX site. Ft 60 wasn't up to full charge,and not sure if RF had anything to do with this,or not. Can only tx ,from right off the charger. Hour later,it says no freqs,or something like that. Not sure if it is simple ,or more involved. Had something like this happen to a ft2600,which was plugged into the lighter in the car,while car was off. 1 sec and the mems were gone. Reloaded off the computer,when I got home and was ok ?? Any thoughts ?? TKS,en73 ,Jerry W8KQ

开云体育? HI- Guess I'll have to answer this my self- Battery shows 8.2
off the charger and 7.4 after trying to tx- So,got the volt meter
out and while checkinng on ht back ports,drops to 2.2 volts.
Borrowed a battery to try and not sure how good the battery is,Now
will tx fine buz. SGuess you can't believe what you see HI ,TKS,

开云体育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 function. Anything less and it will shut down. Now losing memory settings, that is a different thing but, in a way, it also can be related to a low battery. So let's get this battery juiced up and topped up and let's test again. It also could be a failing battery, so that should tell us. 73 WN6WJN |

开云体育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 using to charge the battery? 73 WN6WJN |

The voltage of a battery may read fine but if the battery doesn't have the current capacity anymore it won't work. Found that out when working for a small company that repaired test equipment for the telephone industry. We got into the habit of replacing all batteries automatically? & we cut down our return rate on repairs. A piece of gear may have worked fine for us in the shop but the battery would not hold up out in the field. 73, John N4SME On Sunday, August 21, 2016 9:51 PM, "gerald bishop gsbishop@...
