Sometimes when I turn it on it acts funny. It powers on but i get no recieve unless real close and the same for transmit. Its like it goes off freq. Now if I switch it off and on real fast a few times it will come on and work great as normal. I have tried different mics and antennas. My 148nwst did the same thing for a short time and then stopped. Cold solder joint maybe? Anyone else own a newer 148 GTL with similar issue? |

yup, most likely that famous ole cold solder joint syndrome. where though... try leaving the covers unscrewed, next time it happens, very carefully remove the covers & try pushing on the board with a pencil, or wooden dowel & see if things 'POP' back to normal. then, hit all the joints in that area with a hot solder gun & see if you find the bad spot. |
