Mine blinks sometimes, sometimes it doesn’t, even when it does it stops blinking and goes solid long before the battery is topped off.
I left the charger on the radio overnight after receiving it yesterday.? I used it outside on internal battery power this morning until it got down to 7.4V and then ran it for a while indoors on my Bioenno LiFePo 12V battery.? I just hooked up the DC charge cord with the radio set to charge "on" and the charge light came on but is not blinking.? After a while, I disconnected it to take a look at the on-board battery voltage and it was up to 7.8V.? I'll let it charge all night again.? But I'm disappointed the charge indicator doesn't work properly. ?:-(
I love the radio otherwise.? The bands were great today.? I made one contact to a POTA activator in Georgia and he gave me a 5-9+10 signal report.? He was pretty surprised when I told him I was transmitting with 5 watts of power!
