  If your Rugged Radios Radio isn't powering on, even after connecting to a 13.8V DC power supply and pressing the PWR key, and nothing appears on the display, here's what to check: * First, ensure the power cable is connected correctly, with the red wire to (+) and the black wire to (–). * Second, inspect the power cable fuses. If any are blown, determine the cause, correct the problem, and replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating (15A).

  If you cannot transmit with your Rugged Radios Radio, even when you press the Mic [PTT], consider the following: 1. Make sure the microphone plug is fully inserted into the front panel connector until the locking tab clicks. 2. Check if you've selected a transmit offset that places the transmit frequency outside the allowable transmit frequency range. If so, retransmit the frequency deviation to match the Tx frequency range by pressing [SET], using the HOME Dial knob to select menu #36, pressing the HOME dial knob, and then turning it to select the correct frequency deviation.

Why is my Rugged Radios Radio display too dim?
- R
  Randy LuceroAug 28, 2025
  If your Rugged Radios Radio display is too dim, even at a high brightness level, the supply voltage might be too low. The radio requires 13.8 V DC ±15% (11.7 V to 15.8 V DC). If the input voltage is outside this range, adjust your regulated power supply and check all power cable connections.
