Re: No transmit function on 2M
|
Yes I know what?you mean, But when a radio has no power output on 2m ,I think the seller did know, Also sometimes you see things for sale ,and the seller said it is working as it?should as it lights up when powered up,
The last thing I got of eBay was a datong FL3 audio filter, and he said it worked Last time he used it years ago, it is very clean, yes it is 40+ years old, And guess what, it doesn't work, so I will fix this, Yes I did buy it as is, so I did leave feedback, I should have none, but I do like fixing electronics,?

You have a choice: take the chance or upgrade to currently produced
radio with decent factory parts availability.
I had a old parts ft817 so I removed it from there
If affordable, it's nice to have a parts department carcass or two
from which to liberate parts. I have a number of HW-8s serving in
that capacity.
I am getting fed up getting things from eBay And
the seller's saying it was all working,
Not to cover for unethical sellers, but modern day, 160M-70cm
mulit-mode rigs are complex little beasts - which makes thorough
check outs or spec verification challenging at best.
