If you get a chance, slide the bracket on - you may have to lift the 4 pads up so they make contact to complete the circuit - and see what happens.

After a few minutes it starts receiving again.<br />If the signal level is still low and chops in and out the radio will again stop receiving.<br />I've found if you step up or down in frequency it will start receiving again. Same with volume or even a press on the power switch and it starts to receive again.<br />But this only happens on weak/mobile reception.<br /><br />Any clues?<br /><br />Rob, VK3XRA.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01934509132614134074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776602294831690519.post-24276674822824191312014-08-09T02:57:15.869-04:002014-08-09T02:57:15.869-04:00I found the answer to this question. My problem wa...I found the answer to this question. My problem was not understanding, and/or finding the Call button they referred to in the manual. After some more digging in the manual and found that "A" on the microphone keypad is the call button. Press it twice then key in the tones you want, then push PTT and the tones are sent.. Not the way most of us are use to but it works and does prevent accidentally sending DTMF tones.<br /><br />Hopefully this will help someone else getting one of these radios.<br /><br />New Questions.. <br /><br />1) - Can you change the setting for the microphone keypad so it does not stay lit all the time? It is very bright at night.. <br /><br />2) - I see pictures with different colour displays but have not found a setting for this??<br /><br />73..
