SRX2200 volume knob wont raise volume level

[KE7OHN]

Hello, Just recieved a SRX2200 UHF1 off ebay and for whatever reason the volume doesnt change when the knob it turned up. It turns on fine and the volume is coming out of the speaker, it just doesnt have any effect when you rotate it louder. Is there something in the programming that can inhibit function? There are a few funky things with it so Im wondering if someone messed it up when they recased it. Its now in a black/red case. Any help is appreciated.

You might want to check the programming in the Profiles, it could be the min/max volume setting was set to the same value, or the max was set relatively low. Defaults are Max 255 Min 0. Enable Expert mode in CPS to see all the goodies.

I checked the values in the software, all look normal. I'm going to send it back for a refund. Thank you for the reply.

Put the radio in service mode......

Turn radio on, wait for boot. Within 5 seconds of boot push 2 dimple button on side (bottom side button), 5 times in rapid succession.

The radio will display service, then push the purple button (top side button). until you see CH Test in the display. Push the top orange button (emergency top button) to enter the CH test mode.
Rotate Volume control, should display 2/xxx. (xxx=0~255) depending on position of volume control. 0 will be minimum volume, 255 will be max.

This test is true and will test volume control regardless of CPS programming.

If you do not get 0~255,the control is likely bad, and is not the CPS min/max volume settings. If you do get 0~255 issue is likely in CPS.
