Hi Guys,
I have a low band 42-50Mhz Maratrac that emits a buzzing sound during receive and during any audio when the speaker is unmuted.
I mean the buzz sound is there when ANY audio is present. I'll explain a bit better:
If the radio is receiving a signal the buzz (higher pitch...not like a PL drone buzz sound) but the buzz is also there when the beep sounds are emitted when changing channels or working the volume up/down.
I have several of these radios and only one make this buzzing sound. If the radio is in scan and the Priority channel has activity on it the buzzing sound coincides with the flashing of the "Pri" LED indicator.
I've tried several control heads (clamshell and advanced) and several power supplies.
The radio seems to be, otherwise in working order.
Also when receiving a signal from another radio the audio seems perfectly understandable and isn't garbled or distorted...but this buzzing sound is present on all instances when audio is heard.
Any idea what could cause this?
Thanks,
Chris
