Problem Solution
The sound from
the front panel
speaker is muffled
Drain any moisture from the front panel of the transceiver by
turning it upside down.
Communications
are not clear
Try another channel.
Press PTT.
If you are using a whip or long wire antenna, check that the
antenna selection icon is ATU or Auto (see Figure 4 on
page 36).
If you are communicating over a short distance, try laying the
whip horizontally for near vertical incident skywave operation.
Change to a long wire antenna.
If communications are still not clear, change to a dipole or
broadband antenna and check that the antenna selection icon is
50 or Auto (see Figure 4 on page 36).
There are no
supports for a
wire antenna
available
Lay the antenna wire on the ground. Lay the earth lead or
counterpoise in the opposite direction.
I get an RF burn
from the handset
when I press PTT
The transceiver is not adequately earthed. Attach an earth lead
or counterpoise as per the instructions provided with the
antenna.
GPS is not
working
Ensure that the front panel of the transceiver, and hence the
GPS antenna, is facing the sky so that it can receive signals
from satellites.
