Hello folks.? Looking to the braintrust for some input.? My 7000
shuts down when I key the mic.? Its installed in my pickup under
backseat.? 10M is roof center 2/3s to the rear of truck roof.? 2M
antenna is on lip mount on right side of hood close to front.
I know its not a low voltage issue.??I have it hooked
directly to a fully charged LiFePO4 100ah battery (13.4v fully
charged).? Voltage drop when keyed is less than a tenth of a
volt.? The radio is grounded with a 12" 12awg wire directly to
mounting bolt of seat belt (so excellent ground).
I thought an RFI issue, but even when RF Power is turned
totally down(</=5w, it still shuts off.??
What am I missing???? Any help would be great appreciated.
Mike
