Re: Schematics?
Thank you Andrew, will do. RX on the UHF band is fine. It's just the TX that has failed. Max

Re: Schematics?
Hi Andy, I touched up the both the PCB and the module solder connections. I may just go in and start inspecting solder contacts to make sure everything is good. Voltages would help but I do have the

Re: Schematics?
Howdo. When you say you resoldered the leads, was that the leads on to PCB, or taking the top off the module and resoldering internally? I had a problem with a VHF PA that turned out to be a bad

Schematics?
Looking for a good set of schematics with voltage references. My 847 has no output on UHF band, known to me when I purchased it. I'm aware of the issue with the leads on the UHF module losing contact,

Re: Couple of questions
Any external speaker should sound better than the internal speaker. In the old days radios were designed with large speakers pointing forwards towards the users earholes. Nowadays they fit tiny

Re: Couple of questions
The TRS Data jack (vs the DIN one) combines the PTT and audio in (for transmitting) on the Tip of that TRS plug. You need a 2k-ish resistor between the tip and the PTT line, and a DC blocking

Re: Couple of questions
Commanding PTT with the CAT interface takes the audio from the Mike input, not the Data jack. You have to key the rig from the specific port the audio is coming from, or you'll get silence. Greg KO6TH
