Just recently picked up a used GMRS-2000 FRS/GMRS base station to replace one that was destroyed in a fire at our camp. All the radio functions appear operational except it does seem to be transmitting to my handheld radios. The display indicates that transmission is occurring (red transmit light and signal strength bar next to antenna icon) and have tried both the VOX and PTT transmit options. The radio is operating off of the A/C adapter. I opened the case and noticed that a wire has been clipped at both ends of 1 of 2 wire connector headers. Is it possible that the radio was modified so that it couldn't transmit?
I have not been able to find any pictures of the inside of the unit or schematics online. Unfortunately I don't have easy access to electronic test equipment any more but still have my DMM. Any thoughts or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Jeff
