 |
|
Hi All,
Can you all please help a cyber friend with a second King radio that is no longer working. It was working fine and now all of a sudden it is no longer working. He has two radios however they are not identical radios so he cannot swap them to see if the problem follows.
Here is his latest report:
---------------------------COPY-----------------------
I tried a few things and here are what I found.
The antenna is confirmed to be working.
The radio doesn't work on either receiving or transmitting.
However, when I pushed the push-to-talk, the 'T' on the radio display did show up so it tried to transmit.
When I used a handheld to detect the transmission, the handheld didn't receive anything when the radio tried to transmit. (The same handheld can be heard when I switched to the working radio. Besides the handheld's indicator light turned to green when the working radio was transmitting.)
In the headset, I can hear "static noise" from the radio when the volume was turned up. When I pulled the volume button out for "pull to test", the static noise is loud.
I removed the radio from the panel. The connectors looked clean but I cleaned the connectors using rubbing alcohol anyway which didn't help.
The model is Bendix/King KX-155 (P/N 069-1024-42).
What else I can try?
..
Cheers!!!

It sure sounds like an antenna problem. If the antenna has been confirmed good, maybe the problem is the interface between the antenna and radio.
