repair

I am a 2-way radio dealer with a specific problem with a few radios that came in from a client for repair. At very low volume the radio (a Motorola VX-261-G7-5) performs fine. However when turning the volume up to a normal listening volume for a warehouse or industrial setting, the audio from...

Hello all. This is my first post after lurking for a long while. I currently use an SRX2200 AN Model 1.5 radio and recently it was dropped from a fair height directly onto the volume knob. The result was the knob and the connector to the knob (including the spanner) was disconnected from the...

I received a Realistic DX-302 the other day and had to wait for appropriate antenna connections to arrive before I could try it out. Well buggers. It doesn't seem to be working, despite my best attempts. I've read the manual thoroughly. I've tried multiple antennas and both connections on the...

I’m have a problem with my sentinel software. Normally when I click on the Nationwide/Statewide/County Systems tree. I would click on the Plus or Minus and the information on the system would extend out. As of today I can‘t any of the city radio frequencies or county systems. How do I go about...

Anybody knows if they can be repaired in Europe and where? Very unclear messages from Uniden. Thanks M

I can not believe what I have had to endure with Uniden Scanner support, Back in April June I sent in my 396 XL to be repaired there was an issue where the power button was not responsive and the uinit was not functioning properly, I paid my $69.95 finally got my unit back, seemed like the...

So I recently bought a cb radio, it's an old hy-gain 1 681 (the forty channel model), and a mag mount mic, I don't yet have an swr meter, so I don't know if it's tuned or not. I can hear just fine, but when I try to transmit, nobody hears me. I started troubleshooting the problem, and found...

This probably sounds dumb, but I thought I should play it safe and ask anyway. I'm relatively new to the use of a cb radio, and I was getting an swr of 9 on all channels, as well as barely hearing any static with squelch turned all the way down so I took the base of the antenna apart (a...

I'll preface this by saying I have been repairing XPR 6 and 7 series radios for the past year as an amateur repair tech. Mostly swapping parts like channel and volume pots. I've been getting low power readings (sub 3w) on my service monitor on a large batch of radios. Since I'm new to this type...

Looking for anyone that's able to work on my Sony Air-8. I just purchased it off eBay and the sound is non-existent. If I turn up the volume all the way, I can almost hear something if I put my ear to the speaker. Found lots of YouTube videos on the fix but I don't know how to solder. I'll pay...

im looking for someone that can check my pro 106 radio. it will scan,search and has squelch but will not stop and transmit on any of these no traffic at all any ideas thanks for advise

Hey everyone, new to cb radios, just found this radio at the local Arc thrift store for cheap. Looks un-used or at least very lightly used, got it home and hooked it up to my car battery with some Jumper wire (no fuse, I know now) and it turned on and seemed to work fine, then it started smoking...

Hello all: I was very happy with my first XPR 7550, so I ordered the XPR 7550e. When I began receiving a radio call, I noticed a ticking noise coming from the XPR 7550e. Since I had both, older and current 7550 models, I was able to hear the differences. They both had a ticking noise, when the...

Hi whistler wendy i sent my trx-1 unit in to the whistler repair group to get screen repaired. According to the USPS website it was received around 10:50 am on 06/08/17. I was wondering about how long do you think it will take before its fixed and on its way back to me? And how will i know that...

Hi All, I've attempted to find a similar problem through various Google searches but am always open to links if someone thinks this is already answered... I believe I discovered a similar problem in one other discussion but not sure it was ever answered. I have an FT-60R that has functioned...

I am repairing a PSR-500 where I need to remove the RF shield near the BNC antenna connector. I have all the desoldering tools, so that is no problem. However, they've now added some sort of brown "glue" on top of several of the solder joints. Has anyone run into this before? What is the...

I've searched the web and this site and have not been able to find out if anyone still repairs Alinco portables. Does anyone have information on this? 73, Gregg, N2UUP

Hi there, Love my 2005! I have shielded it, opened up 800MHz, added diode for speed, replaced the back light, and added 2 USB fans to keep the innards cool. In conjunction with my ST2 antenna on the roof this is a great setup. I noticed there is some residue under some electrolytic caps and...
