HELLO
Just got my license!!!!
I finally am able to transmit. So far I have made a few contacts and having fun. but fun all ways comes to an end. Radio quit working. I was tuning around the bands and the radio started cutting in and out. I checked the coaxial connection to see maybe it was loose and wiggled it. Yes that's where the problem was. after a few more wiggles the radio quit receiving. a friend had a look at it and we saw the coaxial connection inside the radio had a broken solder joint. He re soldered it and receive works. only now it does not transmit!!!
we went no further as neither of us has any radio repair skills. I read on the web that these radios were common to have this repair.
Can anyone shed any light on where to look to repair
any help is appreciated
thanks
