I have a Baeofeng UV-5R that spends most of its life in its charging cradle. After reconfiguring its power strip this morning and reconnecting the Baeofeng AC plug (wall wart), I noticed the AC plug LED had changed from solid to blinking red and the LED on the radio's base cradle was dark. So I took the following voltage readings:
Thanks!
- Voltage measured at the AC charger barrel plug: 0V (when disconnected from the cradle)
- Voltage from the power contacts in the UV-5R cradle: 6.3V (no load)
- Battery status voltage reported from the UV-5R: 8.4V (press & hold 0 key)
Thanks!
